1. Dada5000 vs. Kimbo Slice Bellator 149
This was the closest we have come to a death occurring on a major MMA show. If it wasn’t for the doctors that treated Dada5000 after this fight he would have died.
Dada5000 chose to cut weight by eating only bananas and was clearly in no shape to compete on any sort of high level this night. After just moments both fighters were exhausted, and the rest of the bout looked like two old guys trying to get through the first cardio session they had done in years.
The fight finished when Dada5000 flailed around the cage and fell to mat. It looked hilarious, but we would later learn that Dada5000’s health was in severe risk. Later that night Dada5000 would go into full cardiac arrest and had to be revived. Had this been a 5-round fight both guys would be dead and Scott Coker would be in jail.
Sadly Kimbo would be dead of heart failure just months after this bout.
