These two fighters do not like one another. They put up more of a fight during the press conference and the lead-up to the fight than they did in the ring. This fight was boring.

There was so much hype with this bout. However, it did not live up to expectations.

Both men appeared to run out of gas in the second round. Yet, referee “Big” John McCarthy refused to stop the fight. He wanted the fight to continue.

Slice won by TKO punches at 1:23 in the third round.

“Oh my god, I’m so winded right now,” Slice said. “I’m going to have myself a Miller Lite.”

The Spike TV announcers said that they did not believe the ‘knockout’ was legitimate.

With the win, Slice improved to 6-2 in his MMA career. Slice has now won back-to-back fights, as he defeated Ken Shamrock at Bellator 138.

Dada 5000 fell to 2-1 with the loss. Slice claims that Dada 5000 stole his style.

It appeared that Kimbo Slice would have won on a decision if it had gone that far. Slice was the aggressor, especially in the first two rounds.

Slice went down on his own at 1:25 due to being tired. Then Dada 5000 rolled over and Slice mounted him; however, he wasn’t able to do anything.

The Florida street fighter had the same situation in the first round, too. However, McCarthy had to tell the fighters to get up, because he felt like the two fighters weren’t doing anything, which they were for much of the fight.
