The street fighting legend Kimbo Slice opened up about his dispute with former school friend Dada 5000 (real name Dhafir Harris) on the MMA Hour alongside his manager Mike Imber. The pair revealed that Dada's street-fighting record is grossly inflated and, whenever they did arrange fights for him, he would repeatedly look for excuses, or not show up at all.
Imber bemoaned the first time he and Slice tried to set up a fight for Harris shortly after they arrived in Las Vegas:
"What ended up happening was, we were in Vegas for a convention, he was with us and we set up a fight for him there. The day of the fight, he came walking into our hotel room and was like rolling his ankle around and said his ankle didn't feel good and he didn't want to do it. He had to back out.
"Obviously that didn't sit well. These people that were in Vegas, they weren't the type of people to back out from, and then we let it go. We got back home and we actually let him do one of these fights, which was the clip that you saw, that, I don’t know, maybe he thought it was buried somewhere. It’s never been seen, and I shared it with you because one of his big things was that we were afraid he was going to take Kimbo's shine from him. Well, if you share that video with your viewers and yourself and whoever else, I think it speaks for itself. It didn't seem like there’s anything there."

What really angered the pair however wasn't Dada 5000's flakey approach to the bouts they organised on his behalf, but the way in which they were portrayed in a film co-written by Harris called
"Dawg Fight" which, Imber claims, badly misrepresented them both. It certainly seems to have gotten under the skin of Slice who made his bad intentions toward his one-time friend very clear:
"To be honest with you, I'm going to be straight-up honest with you, I am down to fight this motherf***** in or out of the ring at this point. He just needs to watch his self… If we are ever in the same room because of Bellator putting this here together, he needs to watch what he says. If he even looks at me hard, I'm hit him in his mouth."
