Without looking at the video, I have to surmise that the buffalo was seriously injured or the grizzly was out of its mind.
We have buffalo as well as grizzly (aka Kodiak brown bears) which can easily top 1,000 pounds- more than twice the weight of a typical inland grizzly. They kill cattle with impunity but won't take on the buffalo.

The Bison was pretty badly hurt, you could see large patches of fur completely burned away.... the announcer says that rangers actually found the bison after it escaped the bear and put it down due to its injuries.
