Big John McCarthy was shocked how Kimbo Slice vs. Dada 5000 played out

Veteran MMA referee, Big John McCarthy, talks Bellator 149's co-main event between Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000.

John McCarthy has seen almost everything take place inside the cage during his 22-year career as a mixed martial arts referee. However, that didn't stop "Big" John from questioning what he had let himself in for at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas for Bellator 149's Friday night show.

The longtime referee, who made his Octagon debut during the sport's dark ages at UFC 2, was caught in the middle of the co-main event between rivals Kimbo Slice (Kevin Ferguson) and Dada 5000 (Dhafir Harris).
