Rogan: Dada 5000’s heart ‘was filled with cheeseburgers, fried chicken, and orange soda’
UFC analyst Joe Rogan has some more thoughts on Bellator 149’s co-main event, particularly on Dada 5000’s conditioning.
UFC veteran commentator Joe Rogan had a few more words to say about the recently concluded Bellator 149 heavyweight fight between street brawlers Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000.
The fight ended with Slice knocking out a severely exhausted Dada in the third round. Soon after, it was revealed that the latter had suffered from severe dehydration, fatigue, and renal failure, resulting from the accumulation of high levels of potassium.
According to the family’s official statement, Dada (whose real name is Dhafir Harris) is now in stable condition.
Right after the bout, Rogan immediately took his reactions to Twitter, describing the fight as the “worst he’s ever seen.”
He then spoke about it further during Sunday night’s UFC Pittsburgh Fight Companion podcast, where he ripped on Dada’s conditioning in preparation for the fight.
“Yeah, his heart stopped. It was filled with cheeseburgers and fried chicken and orange soda,” Rogan said. “He didn’t train. There was no way he trained. I mean, he might have trained for a couple of days. You should have lost 40 pounds before. It’s not like you didn’t know you were going to do this.”
Rogan, who apparently expected more from Slice, also criticized the TUF 10 alum.
“How about Kimbo? What the f**k was going on with him? That wasn’t even amateur hour,” he said. “Really? If it was an amateur fight you’d be champing at the bit to fight those guys. ‘I hope they’re in my bracket.'”
“All you have to do is dance around for a few minutes and they’re toast,” Rogan continued. “How about that one exchange where Dada just lay down and Kimbo just rolled over on top of him. There was no takedown. I wonder if they were talking to each other. ‘You want to take this to the ground, homie?'”
But as far as the matchmaking for the said event goes, Rogan says Bellator’s top management may have not expected for the said fight to go the way it did.
“I don’t think anybody would have anticipated those guys would have gassed like that,” he said. “That was the worst gassing in the history of gassing. Dada just didn’t have enough gas.”
“I kind of get that he wants to fight legitimately and he’s got to take that paycheck, but I just wish he had a real strength and conditioning coach or trainer.”
