Interview with street fighting legend Dhafir 'Dada 5000' Harris on 'Dawg Fight,' Kimbo Slice and BYB fight tonight on a battleship

If you know the underground fight scene in South Miami, you already know the name Dada 5000. If not, your first introduction to the charismatic promoter and occasional MMA fighter will either be the "Dawg Fight" documentary on Netflix or the BYB Extreme: "Battleship I" event streaming on GFL later tonight June 5, 2015.

Rap has Andre 3000, but street fighting has Dada 5000.

Dhafir Harris has at times been compared (positively) to Don King in his ability to hype and promote fights. He's also somewhat infamous given that many of them were underground and unsanctioned "street fights" of the type that made Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson famous on YouTube long before he began a professional mixed martial arts MMA career.
