One of the more infamous stories in MMA history dates back to the early PRIDE days where MMA legend Wanderlei Silva and MMA fighter Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett reportedly got into a backstage fight at a show in Japan.
While that fight reportedly ended with Krazy Horse knocking out Wandy, video footage later surfaced showing him being choked out, in a separate incident, by Cristiano Marcello.
This weekend, history apparently repeated itself.
At the Rizin FF event in Japan this weekend, Bennett, who won his match on the show in spectacular fashion, called out “The Axe Murderer” in his post-fight interview (see above). Little did we know, this wasn’t their only interaction this weekend.
Video footage also surfaced showing Bennett and Silva getting into a verbal exchange at the hotel lobby ahead of the Rizin event in Tokyo this weekend. You can check out that video clip below.
Additionally, former UFC executive Campbell McClaren posted a photo of interaction that took place between Bennett and Silva backstage at the event itself this weekend. You can check out that photo below as well.
