First problem with Dada orweatherve the fuck his name is
"I am the promoter, I am the referee"
COUGH COUGH slight conflict of interest, but I doubt I could explain how easy it would be for someone to fix something like this to someone named DaDa

Im sure theres fighters that DaDa has "good" relationships with
also wonder if he pays taxes on this because thats definitely alot of money changing hands at those events
