Following his Bellator 149 bout against Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson on Friday, Dhafir “Dada 5000″ Harris was transported to a local Houston hospital suffering from severe dehydration, fatigue and renal failure. On Saturday, Harris’ family released a statement about the fighter’s condition. “The Harris Family would like to inform Dada’s friends and fans that Dada is ok and resting comfortably in a Houston area Hospital under the care of an incredible staff of doctors and nurses,” the press release read. “The doctors have now informed us that Dada had accumulated extremely high levels of potassium in his blood which led to severe dehydration, fatigue and renal failure. The high potassium levels were likely caused by his 40-pound weight loss in preparation for the fight,” it stated. “Thanks to the EMTs and doctors, Dada is now recovering nicely,” read the statement.
