Kimbo Slice vs. Dada 5000 was promoted as a co-main event on a big Bellator show. That decision seemed questionable beforehand, and hindsight will not be pretty either. The two men gassed out quickly and engaged in a horrible fight, with it mercifully being brought to an end by Dada just sort of falling over from exhaustion. Here’s the finish:

Here’s Dallas Winston’s apt description of the final round:
R3: The competitors nearly need to be carried to the center of the cage on a stretcher. They manage, albeit at a snail’s pace, to traverse the few feet of distance by their own accord. With hands at waist level, they sling what I will loosely describe as combinations. After an awkward instance in which the contestants find themselves staring at one another with exhausted and seemingly surprised glances, Kimbo swats Dada 5000, causing him to reel around the cage in a jagged half-circle before he collapses into a heap of shuddering girth and red hair dye.
Kimbo Slice defeats Dada 5000 by TKO (punch?) R3 1:32
