This is one reason why this fighter’s name is ‘Krazy Horse’!
An MMA fight at a King of the Cage event with Charles ‘Krazy Horse’ Bennett. It’s definitely one of the more bizarre fights we’ve seen in the sport’s history.
It’s not unexpected behavior from the famous fighter, though.
Charles Daniel Bennett is a mixed martial artist who most recently competed in the Lightweight division. Best known for competing in King of the Cage and other smaller American promotions such as World Extreme Fighting, Bennett has also competed in the PRIDE Fighting Championships, EliteXC, and ShoXC.
Bennett was born in Gainesville, Florida and is the second-oldest and the oldest boy of 11 siblings who each have a different father.
Bennett had a troubled upbringing as he came from a broken home, often getting into fights, and both of his parents abused crack cocaine. Growing up, Bennett was a self-described “black sheep” of the family, but was very athletic and was a talented football player in high school, where he played running back, linebacker, and was even a defensive lineman despite his small stature. However, Bennett was kicked off of the team during his sophomore year.
During his junior year, his father kicked him out of the house and Bennett eventually dropped out of high school before turning his attention to selling narcotics.
In between jail stints, he found a newspaper advertisement for a mixed martial arts gym in Ocala and decided to sign up and join the gym. His coaches were very impressed with his speed and strength, but at this time Bennett was still dealing drugs.
Eventually, he gave up dealing drugs and focused on mixed martial arts, with the birth of his first child as his main motivation to change his lifestyle. He also credits King of the Cage owner Terry Trebilcock Jr. to helping Bennett turn his life around. [source : wiki]
