"DaDa 5000," the promoter of a series of backyard brawls that launched the careers of a few MMA fighters, is featured on Tuesday's edition of "E:60" on ESPN.

The controversial figure, who's also known as Dhafir Harris, discusses a backyard venue and event series in the Miami suburbs that have registered millions of YouTube views.

The bouts have featured competitors such as Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson and Alex "Bruce Leroy" Caceres, who went on to gain UFC octagon experience in the world's biggest MMA promotion.

"E:60," a weekly investigative newsmagazine show that launched in 2007, airs Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT).

Is this going to be a bad thing for MMA?

Never knew Cacares was in them. He seems too soft for something like that

I agree, I was kind of surprised.

Not this again...somebody get Seth Petruzelli on the phone.

It would be bad for MMA if any of these dude's actually came in and were good.............but there not!

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

Yeah I think u are right Bird. The Promotor and the ref??? Just weird.

that shit flew in boxing back in the early 1900's but people figured out the problems that came with that pretty quickly

Yeah doesnt seem like it would take long at all to find a problem or 2 with that.

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

He better be because the IRS is all over every1 these days.

ya aint that the truth, their getting all kinds of people, still think Wesley Snipes got a raw deal with a prison sentence though
