Wanderlei Silva, 'Krazy Horse' Bennett have to be separated backstage at Rizin FF

Pride FC may be dead, but the heated rivalry between Wanderlei Silva and Charles Bennett is more alive than ever.

It's not clear when and why the feud between the two Pride FC starts got started, but it can be traced back to Dec. 31, 2005 at Pride Shockwave 2005. There, in the backstage of the Saitama Super Arena, in Saitama, Japan, Bennett got into an altercation with Silva's Chute Boxe teammate Cristiano Marcello that resulted in Bennett getting choked out unconscious with triangle choke.

Later, a video of the fight surfaced that confirmed the fight between Bennett and Marcelo.
