MMA fighter Dada 5000 gets KOed by Kimbo Slice, exhaustion
Slice overcame extreme exhaustion to knock out rival Dada 5000, aka Dhafir Harris, with a third-round volley of strikes in Friday night’s heavily hyped co-main event, putting a stamp on one of the more freaky grudge matches in MMA history and fulfilling the many promises he made to Harris throughout a wacky fight week.
Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000 do not like each other.
After a falling out almost a decade ago, Ferguson went on to achieve more mainstream notoriety as a professional fighter while Harris was the subject of a documentary about the fights he was promoting out of his backyard. Finally, Royce Gracie showed concern on the possibility that Kimbo would indeed pull out his testicles just mere inches from his face. Both fighters looked worn out and appeared to not have much leg strength.
The problem with novelty acts is, if the fight goes beyond the first few minutes, you could witness a train wreck. As seen during his time on the Ultimate Fighter, Kimbo is a humble brawler and his efforts were praised by UFC president, Dana White, who was one of his biggest critics. I will say the same thing after Bellator 149, it’s irresponsible and embarrassing that any company would sign Ken Shamrock to fight. Slice got an early takedown but seemed to gas out halfway through the first round. Referee John McCarthy mercifully waved off the fight, putting an end to everyone’s misery.
“Losing is not an option for me”, he said. I’m not going to never give up. “As long as I can breathe and get back to my feet, we are going to go”.
There’s nothing really like this kind of fight in pro sports. He took punches better than I thought.
