But although he was bitten, kicked and thrown off a cliff, Yusuf Alchagirov is alive to tell the tale, reports Russian news agency, Ria Novosti.
The 80-year-old encountered the bear in a field in remote Kabardino-Balkaria, a mostly Muslim-populated region of southern Russia's Caucasus mountains.
The bear charged him and Alchagirov fought back.
He kicked, headbutted and tried to stab the bear, which pushed him off a cliff.
The old man sustained four broken ribs and was treated in hospital for bite wounds and bruises.
Surviving an encounter with a grizzly is not unprecedented. Source
