There’s a lot of bad blood brewing between Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000, who will be fighting at a Bellator MMA event in February. Dada is a childhood friend and former bodyguard of Slice, who also was a well-known street fighter before entering the MMA world.
Slice had some strong words to say about Dada in a recent interview with Sherdog.
“He’s a real piece of s—,” Slice said. “I don’t like him. I’m ready to f—ing break his face on Feb. 19.
“This dude had no beard. He had no tattoos. I don’t think he even had a job at the time, so we hooked him up, gave him a little work. Said come f— with us, come take this ride with us,” Slice said. “Because this was a movement: me coming from the street fighting and having my first fight against Ray Mercer.
“You’re talking about a guy who stole my image, stole my look. Literally when I decided to turn pro, he decided to take street fighting in the wrong f—ing way,” Slice said. “…Even though it was a street fight, we had some type of respect for each other. He just made a mockery out of it. Guys were getting hurt and had no way to really recover from it. Everything about what he did and about him was just wrong.
“And then he tried to talk s— a little bit about me. He tried to talk s–t a little bit about the reason for us not wanting to f— with him no more. I just kept my peace for a very long time, considering the nature of the situation. We even tried to approach him about a fight.
“I told my kids to really forgive me right now, but daddy’s going to be a real bully. I’m gonna bully this dude. I’m gonna bang him up.”
The two will fight at Bellator 149 on February 19th in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center.
