If you told me that Kimbo/Dada were fighting to the death, I would not have expected it to go down that way...

I don't think I've ever heard of a weight cut larger than 21 pounds, who was Ian McCall that one time and he nearly died. And he wasn't fighting Kimbo Slice he was fighting an all-time great. Actually I do think I've heard of a weight cut at like 25 pounds once and it was some Brazilian in Bittitti combate who died the next day.

I wouldn't think that was all cut weight. A crash diet followed by an aggressive cut would be a problem.

Of course, they were also real athletes and not covered in flab.

The only way to describe that fight is Dadaesque. Simply surreal and nonsensical.

B-League MMA: TKO (Renal Failure)

DOCTOR: Mrs. 5000, please take a seat. I'm afraid it's renal failure secondary to baby nuts. MRS. 5000: Oh my God... Is there a cure? A treatment? DOCTOR: We can treat the baby nuts with a kind of hormone replacement therapy, yes... But I'm afraid your husband won't be able to fight. MRS. 5000: Oh thank God, I was worried there would be side effects.

I've only watched the highlights, was that a fix? Dada goes down on a missed punch? Unsubstantiated claims of hospitalization following the bout?

There were plenty of times in the fight where both guys got hit with a punch that looked clean enough if they wanted to take a dive, not stretch the fight for 2 and a half rounds of gassy lovely whatever that was

I feel like a worked fight would have had somebody take a dive for a fake KO in the first round instead of the embarrassing, near fatal three round gas out that actually ensued.

Kimbo Slice could not knock out a man who was literally dying in the ring.

Sly edit of Kimbo being attended to by his corner after the pre-fight instructions. OR WAS IT?

Right before the flop kimbo was basically teeing off on dada against the cage. Dada falls into him and kindof pushes him across the cage before kimbo shoves him off and he falls. If kimbo had just stepped to the left or the right he would have dropped from the strikes. The ending that actually happened is better, imo.

Whats the dada5000 guy famous for? Did people just assume he knew how to fight because hes a big fat black guy? I thought he was supposed to be a street fighter or something, how do 2 people get so much hype for being badass fighters while sucking that bad at fighting, he nearly gave himself a heart attack

I remember first hearing about him here a couple years ago, which looks like was the last time he fought, holding wins over guys with amazing records like 1-10 and 0-5. Good poo poo

Kimbo actually was and is a mixed martial artist, but everyone knows he's a joke. Kimbo vs Dada 5000 was like if Dana White vs Tito Ortiz happened today, but then make it like 100x worse even after that.

Bellator legit hyped this for months as one of their two biggest fights, and their other one ended in an intentional dick shot

Wasn't Dada going to promote an event on a barge in international waters like that Simpsons episode but with maybe fewer monkey knife fights?

Re dehydration -- I noticed that neither guy really seemed to be breaking a sweat despite being that exhausted. I just can't really understand that -- isn't 14min more thna enough time for you to start sweating in response to effort?

The documentary is really good at helping people understand why up and coming fighters willingly sign 10/10 UFC contracts when Dada 5000 pays people like 100 bucks plus some beer and bbq to get knocked out in a sandbox. http://youtu.be/-yP_wNbofvg here's ya boy Bruce Leeroy taking out some dude named Chocolate in said sandbox.

How badly does this hurt Bellator's brand or are they already known as "that company"? I love this because I'm not even sure if the gif is slowed down at all.

Anybody that's been with them for the last year at best (if not earlier) has known what they're getting into 2. The GIFs and videos are not slowed down, sped up, or altered in any way. It was surreal to see live
