This should be cool tomorrow night. Interested to see how they pull off this hybrid card.

Totally forgot about that. I know they have a ton of fights, how many are on Spike?

I think 7 or 8.

Will Brooks posted on Twitter that he got jumped by the Pitbull bros while he was on the phone with his mom. They're trying to take him out before his fight this weekend. I think the Authority are behind this somehow.

Saw that. Sounds like something out of the Diaz bros. playbook.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Shamrock vs Gracie and Kimbo vs Dada 5000 are the headline fights for Bellator's February 19th card in Houston.



Those are some ****ing awful fights.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Who is Dada 5000?

Can't believe people are going to actually pay to watch Shamrock-Gracie III.

Bellator has some really good fighters, but cards like this make them look like a pro wrestling Indy federation.

Dada 5000 is another internet darling like Kimbo. Dude has had 2 pro fights but hasn't fought since 2011 I think. Funny about your last statement, someone on Twitter called this the IWA Mid South of MMA cards.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

They had to go find someone Kimbo could beat.

I guess it is better than the guy Fedor will be fighting.

Coker is a smart promoter. He knows that they cant compete with the UFC when it comes to talent. So he uses freakshow fights like this to bring attention to his other fighters.

For example, Kimbo v. Shamrock was a horrible fight and matchup but he recognized that those guys are huge names. That fight was Bellator's biggest live gate and resulted in their highest TV ratings. The Gracie/Shamrock fight will do well also because people have no problem with watching a trainwreck.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Holy ****. I was calling for the Dada vs. Kimbo fight after watching that Dawgfight documentary. Good stuff, Coker.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

The world has been patiently waiting, but the Kimbo vs. Dada superfight is almost upon us. I can hardly contain myself. Newton vs. Vassell should be good also; and I'm always down to see Guillard fight (even though he usually disappoints me). Looks like some old dudes named Gracie and Shamrock will be fighting as well. I'm ready.

To piggyback on jvalverde88's answer, Dada 5000 used to run with Kimbo as one of his bodyguards/crew.

He was the feature player in the documentary Dawg Fight which I really enjoyed.

He runs (or ran) a backyard MMA circuit from his backyard.

He actually looks a lot like Kimbo.
In his last real fight, Kimbo was in the audience and Dada calls him out.

I'm with you Pappy, I'm genuinely excited to see them fight (unless you're being sarcastic, in which case, I humbly accept being a slappy for these kinds of fights, haha).

EDIT: Added Trailer for Dawg Fight

Dawg Fight is the only reason I'm interested in the fight. Also I love trainwreck MMA fights and there are two of them on this card.
