The medical troubles suffered by Dhafir “Dada 5000” Harris in the wake of Bellator 149’s headliner were apparently even worse than previously reported.

5000 (2-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) today posted on Instagram that he not only suffered renal failure in his fight with Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (6-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), but claims his heart also stopped twice during the bout, which ended in a third-round TKO for Slice when 5000 collapsed out of exhaustion.

“Yes I did have kidney failure during the fight I also had 2 heart attacks which I did code aka Died during the Fight,” 5000 wrote in the post, which he deleted shortly afterward.

Initially, a statement attributed to Harris’ family reported the street fighter and promoter suffered renal failure after the Spike-televised fight and attributed the health condition to a severe weight cut. A tweet from a reporter on scene at the Feb. 19 fight at Houston’s Toyota Center also claimed 5000’s heart stopped and he was placed on a ventilator.

5000 also wrote that he spent three weeks in a Houston-area hospital as he recovered, a longer stay than previously reported by his manager, Mike Vazquez, who said he was released from the Houston hospital on March 1, less than two weeks after the bout.

“Just to come back to Miami and to continue treatment at South Miami Hospital,” 5000 wrote.

Vazquez today told MMAjunkie that 5000 spent another week in a Miami-area hospital after his release in Houston and continues to go on dialysis for damage to his kidneys.

5000, who according to Vasquez is unlikely to return to the cage, also addressed critics who said he was dangerously out of shape for the fight, billed as a bout between two street fighting rivals. He made a veiled reference to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who joked the fighter’s veins were filled with “fried chicken and orange soda.”

“A lot of folks celebrities alike have jump to conclusions without the facts,” Harris wrote. “Yes I trained very hard for this fight and I was in Fighting Shape. But those who knew me they knew that something wasn’t right by the look in my eyes when I stepped into that ring. But stay tuned for the rest of that shocking story.”

5000 is scheduled to go on ESPN’s “Dan LeBatard Show” next Wednesday and is in discussions to appear on MMAjunkie Radio, as well.

5000’s opponent, Slice, subsequently tested positive for the steroid nandrolone and is temporarily suspended pending a formal hearing by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which regulated the bout. The bout is likely to be declared a no-contest.

A TDLR spokesperson said 5000 passed all necessary physicals prior to the bout and was deemed fit to fight.
