Mixed Martial Arts career

Harris' first fight was against Cedric James where he won by KO in less than 3 minutes of the first round.[3]

Harris' next fight was against Tim Papp where he won by TKO in 50 seconds of the first round.[4]

Bellator

Harris faced childhood friend turned bitter rival Kimbo Slice in a highly publicized match at Bellator 149. Harris was defeated by way of technical knock out during the waning moments of the third round. [5] Having collapsed at the end of the bout, Harris was removed from the ring on a stretcher and immediately rushed to the hospital. He was later determined to have suffered the results of cardiac arrest, severe dehydration and renal failure during the contest with Slice. Following two weeks of hospitalization, Harris was released on March 2, 2016.[6] Bellator President Scott Coker stated after the bout that Dada 5000 would not be invited back to fight in Bellator.[7] In March 2016, it was revealed that Slice had tested positive for nandrolone and an elevated testosterone to epitestosterone ratio (T/E ratio) in a pre-fight drug test. The result of the fight was overturned to a no contest.[8]
