Dada 5000 isn’t a professional fighter and despite the huge build up by Bellator he shouldn’t be treated as one. The Bellator 149 fight against Kimbo Slice was a failure by many people and the list starts way before the two people in the cage.
The fact that a sanctioning body, the organization and the fighters’ managers let this fight happen is a failure for MMA.
Dada spoke publicly for the first time since leaving Bellator 149 in an ambulance.
“When I actually fell inside that ring, Kimbo Slice never touched me,” Harris said on The Dan LeBatard Show. “I had a heart attack. So, when I slammed against the cage and I went down, that was just the beginning.
“The heart is a muscle, so when the kidneys shut down and I’m still pushing, the next thing to go was the heart. So when my heart stopped, it’s like, I was out of it. I didn’t remember nothing. When they brought me back, I was inside the hospital and they said that I had two heart attacks — and this is on paper we can provide to you guys. I had two heart attacks and I [flat-lined] twice. And for me, I was just thanking God, like, I’m here for a real reason. Because there’s individuals out there who didn’t go through a fraction of what I went through and they’re no longer breathing.”
