Charles Daniel "Krazy Horse" Bennett (born November 23, 1979) is an American mixed martial arts fighter. Bennett currently fights as a lightweight in EliteXC and King of the Cage.
Bennett is known for his cocky arrogance, often playing to the camera, insulting other fighters, and even disrespecting the referee, both during interviews and in the ring. One of his trademark moves is to sit atop of the corner ropes after the opening bell rings, and attempt to double push kick his opponent as he rushes in.
In 2007, Bennett missed a fight in San Jose, California, because he missed his flight from Florida having just been released from jail. Recently, Bennett lost to long time rival Victor Valenzuela in a rematch at ShoXC on August 25. Prior to the fight with Valenzuela, the two had fought to a controversial draw, which sparked the feud. On January 24, 2008, Bennett was supposed fight Victor Valenzuela in a King of the Cage event. However, Bennett was arrested for domestic dispute and faces several charges including strangulation. His bout with Valenzuela will be postponed.
Bennett has also drawn criticism from the MMA community by claiming that ground fighting "is like making love, it's not real fighting."[citation needed]
He holds notable victories over current EliteXC Lightweight Champion Karl James Noons, and WEC Bantamweight contender Yoshiro Maeda.[1]
