Dada 5000’s Heart Stopped After Kimbo Slice Fight

Bellator spokesperson Danny Brener and Bellator President Scott Coker did not address a tweet from Bleacher Report’s Jeremy Botter claiming Harris’ was in critical condition and was placed on a ventilator after going into cardiac arrest. There was concern that Harris may not survive through the night but the 38-year-old is now in recovery. His poor performance was due to “extremely high levels of potassium in his blood, which led to severe dehydration, fatigue and renal failure”. “The high potassium levels were likely caused by his 40(-pound) weight loss in preparation for the fight”.

Experience the unbelievable, hard-hitting, real-life tale of the undisputed king of the street fights: Kevin Ferguson a.k.a. Kimbo Slice.

Call Bellator’s Kimbo Slice vs. Dada 5000 bout a circus, a sideshow, or a thinly-veiled PR stunt if you want – it’s probably all of those things – but there’s undoubtedly a market for this matchup that is deeply rooted in the backyard fight game.

By the time they struggled to their feet, each were sucking heavy wind before the first horn blared.

Should this fight have never occurred in the first place? Prior to the fight, Harris was required to provide the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration with both EKG and EEG exams before he would be cleared to fight.

Following the fight, UFC heavyweight Derrick “The Beast” Lewis was having good laugh about Kimbo’s team coming back to his dressing room screaming “give him some oxygen!”
