Is it possible for a man to fight a bear and win?

Highly unlikely.

Maybe if the guy fights with his teeth too
I don't know if it is even knockable by punching it in the face

Nikolai Valuev and Alexandr Emelianenko both (claim to) have done it.

Also, Khabib Nurmagomedov used to wrestle bears as a child just for fun.

Russians are some crazy motherfuckers.

depends on the bear

small bears like north american black bears or the brown bears across europe and the mid-east, yes.

I doubt a man has ever fought a grizzly bare-handed and won

the K-bar story ?

My petrography professor had a lot of run-ins with bears in the field

Apparently you need to carry rifles when dealing with the larger species (grizzlies & polar bears) because one of his expedition buddies shot a grizzly between the eyes with a 9mil and the bullet bounced right off its skull. Guy still has the bullet.

if you are lucky enough to get the jump on him and jam your entire arm into its throat up to your shoulder and he doesnt hit you with a fatal slap until it loses consciousness, yes.

else you need at least a shield and spear.

Didn't Mike Patton fight a bear and win in 2002 whilst naked?

wouldn't it just bite your arm off? lel

I remember hearing about a bear wrestling contest once. Dude after dude went up against this bear and every single one got roflpowned. Then this girl went in there, and played nice with the bear, talking softly to it, petting it, and so on. She got the bear to lay down on its own, and won the contest.

Of course, plenty of people have done it.

James Hickok killed a bear with a knife, I remember reading about a guy who stuck his arm into a bear's mouth and bit its jugular too.

I mean, in all likelihood you'll probably die, but some people can pull through, and some people could probably do it consistently.
