Dada 5000 still hospitalized, a week after Bellator 149

It is simply unrealistic to listen every piece you put out regarding the Dada situation considering the sheer number of different media outlets. However, I would assume that the live chat and mmabeat are two of your most listened to weekly episodes.. Just going off of what I personally listened to. Don't really have the time to delve into the live chat but I will share my displeasure with themmabeat.

"I will say this, in the aftermath when you realize it came that close to something tragic happening, what a stupid sacrifice that would have been to a sport that has fought this hard to get to where it's at. The whole thing starts to crumble at that point, I really believe that.. one stupid casualty.. one stupid moment when there's a casualty of that nature.. on big network tv.. is enough to bring the whole thing down in my opinion. That's what I don't like, I don't like that." -Chuck Mindenhall

In responding to Chuck's statements is where you lost me. Not once did you mention Dada's health scares and how it would have potentially affected the sport. So you went on to say something along the lines of, it would have been different if people would have sounded the alarms before the fact and that Dada vs Kimbo wasn't where people were focusing their concerns. Ok so you really think hardcore and casuals alike weren't concerned with Dada competing in this event. Also, what does this have to do with someone potentially dying inside the cage and ripple effects of something like that on the sport of mma? You then went on to say something of the manner, "and yet, after the fact, the rating were 3.3 million for Kimbo Slice so here's the question to you gentlemen, are they gonna bring him back?..." Once again, this has nothing to do with Chuck's point and the original issue at hand. Imo it would have been more appropriate to address the issue of an mma fighter potentially dying inside the cage and the ramifications of it. I apologize if you went into more detail on another media outlet however I'm just going off of what I personally listened to.
