Dhafir Harris (born August 4, 1977) known as Dada 5000, is an American mixed martial artist and former internet celebrity with his no holds barred street fight videos. He starred in Dawg Fight which is about street fighting in parts of America which he used to film and take part in. He left this lifestyle and started to take up sanctioned fighting with his most notable MMA fight with Kimbo Slice at Bellator 149.^[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Harris' first fight was against Cedric James where he won by KO in less than 3 minutes of the first round.^[3]

Harris' next fight was against Tim Papp where he won by TKO in 50 seconds of the first round.^[4]

Bellator

Harris then took on long time friend turned rival Kimbo Slice at Bellator 149 where he lost by TKO.^[5] Harris was rushed to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest, severe dehydration and renal failure. He was released from the hospital on March 2, 2016.^[6] Bellator President Scott Coker stated after the bout that Dada 5000 would not be invited back to fight in Bellator.^[7] In March 2016, it was revealed that Slice had tested positive for nandrolone and an elevated testosterone to epitestosterone ratio (T/E ratio) in a pre-fight drug test. The result of the fight was overturned to a no contest.^[8]
