The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of South and Southeast Asia.Wikipedia
They are battling for the same resources since they are in the same area to hunt, at first both animals are on defensive and figuring out what they are dealing with.

As they approach each other the tension is high, then suddenly the python attack the alligator with lightning speed. The alligator fights back and takes its powerful jaws on the python. It’s a remarkable display of strength and power of these two toughest predators in the wild.

It seems that the alligator has the advantages when it hold its jaw on the python and never let go, after several hours of battle, it is very surprising that the alligator let go of the python. Both animal retreat and depart ways, avoiding encountering each other again.
