/\ Apart from mating season male polar bears are also aggressive when competing for food. The smaller the meal, the fiercer the fight.

From the book, Bears of the north: A year inside their worlds by Wayne lynch, a renowned wildlife photographer abd biologist.
Here is quote some statements from his book regarding bear fights.
Pg. 366: Male bears should have good fighting skills
"Greater movements such as these increase the likelihood that a female will intercept a potential mate, or multiple mates, and possibly pit rival males against each other so that the male with the best genetic quality, as measured by his age, body size, strength, and fighting skills, sires her offspring."
Pg. 371: Male bears can fight up to 4mins, and due to numerous fights scars on head, neck and shoulders in common in old males
"Elsewhere, rival male bears are not always so friendly. Lynn Rogers in Minnesota wrote: Encounters between mismatched males were settled by the larger ones simply chasing away the smaller, but when contestants were fairly even in size, clawing, biting battles with continuous contact up to 4 minutes were seen in some instances. Two fighting areas were examined, and both were characterized by clumps of fur and trampled, and broken vegetation. Because of fighting, old males had numerous scars on their head, neck, and shoulders."
Pg. 372: Nine male bears fight for female
"In the Yakutia region of eastern Russia, hunters have reported seeing up to nine male brown bears shadowing a single female, with fierce fights breaking out among the competitors."
Pg. 397: Male bear kills and eats a mama bear in a ferocious fight in sweden
"In another instance in Sweden, researchers reported a case in which an 11-year-old male brown bear killed a mother who was traveling with three young cubs. Examination of the site showed evidence of a ferocious fight. The body of the killed mother, partially eaten, was covered with moss. Two of her cubs were found alive in a nearby tree."
Pg. 676: Researcher tells that how much aggressive brown bears are compared to black bears
"To protect her offspring, a brown bear mother has no option but to charge. She may bluff first, but when that fails, she fights. For the brown bear, aggressiveness was an essential trait for survival. The late mountain man and wilderness guide Andy Russell wrote that to compare the grizzly with his lesser cousin, the black bear, is like standing a case of dynamite beside a sack of goose feathers."
Pg. 744: Fighting is an important skill a bear cub learns for survival
"For bears, play activities are a way for a young animal to practice survival skills such as escaping, stalking, capturing, killing, and fighting."
Pg. 772: Rogers judges from many wound marks that female bears also sometimes fight
"Rogers did not witness any fights between neighboring females, but wounds on a number of them indicated that fights sometimes occur."

/\ Mark from 6:18 "Most of the male bears own scars, thats why many of them are easier to be recognised than females."

/\ Mark from 6:18 "Most of the male bears own scars, thats why many of them are easier to be recognised than females." These scars are obtained during mating season, mainly or when fighting for the best fishing spots. Female bears do fight to protect their cubs but they fight far less than males do in their lifetime.

Males fight to establish dominance, females fight for self-defense. In mammals males are more combative than females.

An awesome fierce Brown bear fight uploaded one month ago: The guy who filmed this said those bears fought for about 10 minutes, that is pretty long, very good stamina.
