Dada 5000
One of the marquee matchups on the Bellator 149 card this past weekend was a brawl between actual street fighters Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000.
The fight was more trainwreck than martial art with Dada 5000 collapsing due to exhaustion in an elaborate spin out of physical comedy that nearly became tragic when his heart temporarily stopped.
Sarah, ever mindful of the clear connections between early 20th century art movements and idealized martial arts suggested that this fight was to MMA what Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain was to art almost a century ago.
