You may know Bellator 149 by its more common, if less official name: That Thing That Had Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie and Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000 in It.
Whatever makes you feel good. After all, that was sort of the point of the event, at least for us oh-so fortunate spectators.
In the main event, Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock waged their trilogy fight. The date of Shamrock-Gracie 2? April 7, 1995. Combined age Friday night? One hundred and one. That’s not a typo. That’s one, zero, oner.
And if that wasn’t enough, in the co-main event, you had Kimbo Slice vs. Dhafir “Dada 5000” Harris, fighting it out to determine the one true king of Miami’s underground fight scene of the 2000s. Combined age: 80.
In fairness, the card had several other fights. In even further fairness, no one remembers what they are. But that’s why we’re here. We’re covering Royce, Shamrock, Kimbo, Dada, the partridge, the pear tree and everything else, and as usual, the final stat lines only reveal so much, especially at a time like this. These are the real winners and losers from Bellator 148.
