Chrles "Krazy Horse" Bennett has gotten a lot of mileage out of the story that he brawled with members of Brzil's Chute Boxe academy at a PRIDE show several years ago. Finally, video of the incident has surfaced. The video cuts off at the end, with Bennett waking up and then falling back to sleep. Hard to imagine he got up and knocked out Wanderlei, but I guess we'll never know.
Here's Bennett's account, from mmaweekly:
MMAWeekly: Let's talk about that. You bring that up. There was an interesting post on a lot of the forums saying you got into a battle with the Chute Boxe guys. What happened with that?
Bennett: Nothing much. They just jumped me. A bunch of little bitches.
MMAWeekly: When did this happen? Was it at the show?
Bennett: This was at the last (show), this was at the New Year's show.
MMAWeekly: So what went down?
Bennett: Um. They were pretty disappointed that their training techniques didn't work for the guy that I was fighting. You know? I made him look like shit when I beat him up. He tried some of that Chute Boxe shit, but it's bullshit. All that shit is bullshit.
MMAWeekly: So you go backstage, and what happens backstage?
Bennett: I got called out in the ring after I beat the dude. One of the dudes that was training with him gets into the ring and he was like, me and you are next. You know me. I don't look for any trouble. I was more like, Okay, whatever you say, but right now I won my fight. I'm going to have a good time. Then I go to the back in the locker room, and that's where the whole Chute Boxe team was at. Then, you know, this and that happened. I won't go into further details, but if you read the post you already know.
MMAWeekly: This is what I read. Somebody from Chute Boxe choked you out. Somebody was kicking you down and then, rumor has it, you got up and you knocked out Wanderlei Silva.
Bennett: Um. Some rumors are not always rumors, though.
MMAWeekly: What does that mean?
Bennett: You can take that any way you want, but if a little man my size can pack that much punch, just imagine what I can do to a guy that I'm going to fight my size.
MMAWeekly: All right. The post says you knocked out Wanderlei Silva. That's what it says.
Bennett: Did it?
MMAWeekly: That's what it said.
Bennett: That man there, Wanderlei Silva, he's pretty bad. I think I should be crowned the champion. You know what I mean?
MMAWeekly: That's craziness dude, you throwing down with Wanderlei. Are you crazy?
Bennett: Yea, but the f#%ked up thing about it, I didn't get paid for it.
MMAWeekly: So you want to fight one of the Chute Boxe guys in Pride soon?
Bennett: Actually, I want to fight all of the Chute Boxe guys.
MMAWeekly: Who do you want to fight?
Bennett: The guy, I don't know his name. He's about 155 pounds.
MMAWeekly: Azeredo?
Bennett: I think that's him.
MMAWeekly: So you'd like to take a shot at him?
Bennett: Yea.
MMAWeekly: How would that go? Would it just be a stand up war between you two?
Bennett: No, because he didn't want to stand up with me in the locker room.
MMAWeekly: Dude, did you take on the entire team or what?
Bennett: I took on the whole Chute Boxe team. It was six against one . . . I'm not worried about anyone you know. If I took on the whole Chute Boxe team, f@%k, what are you going to bring?
MMAWeekly: You're crazy if you're throwing down with the whole Chute Boxe. Who does that? Nobody does.
Bennett: Nope. I didn't even have no corner help.
MMAWeekly: You were just solo? You were just throwing down?
Bennett: Yea. That's it. After whatever happened with Wanderlei, I tried to get the hell up out of there, though, because I knew then I had him f@%ked up. I was like, damn. What have I done?
MMAWeekly: How did this end? How did you get out of there? I mean if you're battling six guys, how did you get out? How did it end?
Bennett: Somebody snatched me out. They were like, you're going to get yourself killed. Get out of here with all of us so we can protect you. I was like, all right. Hurry up and get me out of here.
MMAWeekly: You got the green light and ran with somebody else?
Bennett: Yea. That's basically it. I dropped in a herd.
