Charles Daniel Bennett (born November 23, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist. Bennett currently fights as a lightweight in King of the Cage.
Bennett is known for his cockiness and 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. He is also known for jumping up on the cage during and after fights. His trademark move is a backflip of the top of the cage every
match he wins.
In 2005, Bennett was involved in a backstage altercation with a member of Chute Boxe Academy at the Pride Shockwave 2005 in Saitama, Japan. In a video posted on Chute Boxe’s official website, Bennett is seen attacking Chute Boxe fighter Cristiano Marcello.[2] Bennett supposedly insulted the Chute Boxe Academy and Wanderlei Silva, prompting a scuffle between Marcello and Bennett, and Marcello put Bennett to sleep with a triangle choke before the fight was broken up.[3] 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 longtime 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 for claiming that ground fighting “is like making love, it’s not real fighting.”[citation needed]
He holds notable Knockout victories over former EliteXC Lightweight Champion KJ Noons, UFC veteran Gerald Strebendt, and WEC Bantamweight contender Yoshiro Maeda.[1]
In the video game UFC Undisputed 2010, the nickname “Krazy Horse” is available for use on a customly created fighter, once bought in the in-game store.
Bennett showed up at the tryouts for The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck, but did not make it to the final cast.

Legal troubles
