Bennett says having this new-found support makes all the difference in the world, and he hopes to pay them all back by showing off a new version of himself when he returns in the cage.

“I have a strong support team now starting off with Rashad Evans and David Eddy and Ali Abdel-Aziz. It means a lot. It means that now I have this opportunity once again that’s in front of me to go out and show with the proper training, my proper skills,” said Bennett. “It’s a great feeling.”

His new manager working with Renzo Gracie also means that Bennett has an open invite to come to New York and train in Gracie’s Manhattan based school along with some of the best in the world, including UFC champions Georges St-Pierre and Frankie Edgar. It’s that commitment that Abdel-Aziz hopes to show Bennett, and help him turn things around.

“A lot of people took advantage of Charles at the beginning of his career, and they didn’t treat him well, but right now with the right people and the right management, he’s going to be a complete MMA fighter. Now it is time to shine,” said Abdel-Aziz.

One of the first big moves for Bennett will be the drop to 145 pounds. He plans on fighting exclusively at featherweight starting with his upcoming fights. After putting together a few wins, Bennett is hopeful that he’ll get the chance to prove his worth to a promotion like the UFC or Strikeforce.


First time I saw Crazy Horse he knocked out some Japanese dude in Pride and then flew over the ropes out of the ring and ran around the arena like a crazy man.  Then he got choked out by Gomi I think.  

But man... Bennett had so much RAW physical ability, he was just crazy and outta control.  And then wasn't there a story of him hitting a team mate with a pipe? ***.  But I believe in second chances (or third or fourth maybe).  Does Charles "no longer crazy horse" Bennett deserve another shot?  Is it even too late for him to improve his MMA skills and live up to his potential?
