Charles Daniel Bennett. Fans know him as ‘Krazy Horse,’ and his entertaining style in the cage backs up at least half the nickname. The Marion County sheriff’s office knows him better as A0041644, one of the numbers used for recording arrests into the public record.

Another MMA drug use column?! Yes, but in this rant, 411's Jon Hartley plays devil's advocate and explains why not all steroid violations are created equal. Also, why do fighters keep using banned substances when they surely know they'll be caught? These questions and more will be answered, plus the return of The Throwdown Top 10's, including three number one fighters who are not Pride or UFC Champions! u-Pump-It-Up!.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">LINK

"I coined the phrase 'ground and pound.' Now it’s become a style. You’re either stand-up, a ground and pound, or a submission guy. That’s kind of cool." - Mark Coleman

Periodically, *********** will ask its writers to consider a question and to write a short response to that question. It's a feature we call the "*********** Roundtable Discussion." This week's question is: Does the American MMA judging system need revamping, and if so, how would you change it?

Peace, Joe Stevenson says, is a beautiful thing. And though the UFC lightweight contender says bluntly that he has "huge, big problems" in his life, he acts as if he doesn't have a care. He and his wife, Maia, don't sweat even the most significant ordeals they may face. He's been through so many monumental issues in his life, he says the ordinary day-to-day problems that plague any young couple don't even register.

The Brazilian fighter from BTT had a quick chat with the guys from tatame.com.br on the beach before going surfing, in Rio. "All is cool, I'm training normally, but not too hard as I have no fight coming up. What I want is to enter the cage in the UFC soon, but I have been told by the UFC management that they won't be using me just yet, so it's out of my hands right now. I think that the LHW division right now is awesome, and for sure it's the more exciting at the moment, if it was difficult before, imagine it now with all the Pride guys coming in.. I also think that Henderson will take the belt, but Rampage gets him in a good position, things can go the other way. Machida is very dangerous right now and getting better. Shogun will try to take Forest to the floor and will try to do his thing.." Said Arona.

Love him or hate him, there is no denying the impact “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” has on the continuing evolution of mixed martial arts. In fact, the mere mention of his name is usually enough to start a heated debate between UFC enthusiasts. Is he one of the world’s top light-heavyweights destined to recapture gold? Or is he a B-level fighter who’s mastered the art of self-promotion? There is no right or wrong answer, just opinions that are as diverse as his fan base.
