Just got to the end dada 5000 looked the worst fighter out of the bunch. after they spent the whole film hyping him up. why did the ref stand them up from full mount in his fight? he would have got pounded to a stoppage if the ref didn't save him. Kimbo is to clean and crisp more technically sound and would ko dada I think.
shareYeah, just watched this, and that was BS. Unless they were in that position much longer than indicated, and the red pulled them out for inaction. He had no skills to get out of that situation on his own. Even his trainer said, "oh *beep*
sharehow long in the round was the stand up? not much longer than 2.00 if I'm not mistaken? I'd think even a gassed heavyweight could do enough to look busy for that time from mount?
shareThey made them stand up because the gorilla guy didn't know what to do on the ground either, he was something like 0-5 when he entered the ring. DaDA hasn't really faced any good opponents yet.
shareDada's MMA fight in the film was shady as hell.
shareI agree did seem as tho not that the fix was in but word was to give him every opportunity to escape if that scenario did happen. If that was the case tho what bothered me was the fight dada was ref in the back yard when the guy that got the bad ko first couple of fights fought against the jiu jitsu dude. jiu jitsu guy got back mount and even the old woman were shouting to dada to stop the fight and he didn't.
share"HE STILL FIGHTIN"
shareGive him a break, he's old, but that fight did look shady
shareYeah he is old but looks like he didn't learn a thing from kimbo's MMA career. If you have no ground game you should probably stick to boxing leave MMA alone.
shareHe has no chance at boxing either. Most MMA boxers throw arm and shoulder punches. A trained boxers straight is more powerful than most men hooks. Plus at 38 MMA is the only chance he has at making any money this late in the game.

All of your examples are heavy on the juicy boy.
Dan henderson who's still a top fighter in the UFC
What the heck are you talking about 33 years old? Dada was born in August of 1977!! SMH ... Man you dudes be lying and making up crap for the sake of winning an online debate... Atleast do research before spewing a bunch of nonsense... This thread is old but funny as ever with the lies. LOLOLOL dumb noob.
sharebeen thinking the same , no way should ref have stood them up . looks like was fixed for him to win . enjoyed the film though .
shareU are right in the stoppage incident. But you really can't compare his skill to Kimbo's, because ,I may be wrong, but I think Kimbo had more training than Dada did when he did his mma debut.
shareEveryone saying Dada is old, I think he was 32 in that mma fight! Anderson Silva is 40, Dan Henderson is like 46.
Regarding the standing up Dada that definitely was the only reason he won but who knows what the rules of that weird promotion are. Maybe you can't punch a downed opponent who knows. UFC also has weird rules too which make little sense i.e. you aren't allowed to use downward striking elbow shots (for no real logical reason)
I always thought the downward elbows were banned for safety reasons because of how easy you can cut a guy's face with that move. I think it's similar logic to why hammer fists are not allowed.
I got to think there was some other reason why they stood him up, but it's hard to tell with the footage edited as it is. We'd really have to see the unedited fight to know for sure why that happened.
For me personally the problem with that ending is I felt it gave the central conflict an anti-climatic ending. The whole film we are alternating between how much good this program is for the community versus how dangerous and illegal it is.
And with all that buildup, it felt like the film should have ended with him making some definite choice as to what to do with the backyard fights.
In fact, when the judge at the end said that the fighters had to quit any backyard brawls to go pro I honestly thought DaDa was going to walk away.
That way he puts his money where his mouth is and makes a real sacrifice for his community. The way it is now it feels like DaDa just used the backyard brawls to boost his own profile, and then dumped it as soon as he got the opportunity to go to the big leagues. And that makes the whole film ring hollow to me.
Am I the only guy that felt this way or was anyone else confused with how quick they dropped that plotline at the end?
according to Bellators profile on him Dhafir Harris is 39 years old
