Wanderlei Silva Banned For Life from Competing in MMA

"The Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva
The Nevada State Athletic Commission just banned Wanderlei Silva from competing in MMA for life and fined him $70,000. The reason? Silva ran away from a drug test.
I wonder what is worse: running away from a test or failing a test. Here is an example for you: Chael Sonnen tested positive for three (yes, not one, but three) different banned substances and got away with a two year suspension. On the other hand Wand never got caught with anything, but was banned indifinitely...
I don't know about you, but I'm thinking the UFC benefits the most from the situation. Wanderlei is no longer the draw that he used to be. He does have an army of loyal hardcore fans, however he's unknown to the Fox newbs that now represent the new casuals. So, with his not so stellar UFC record, he is no longer "moving the needle" for the organization, and what is important to note here is that the UFC profits from the masses of casual fans, not from the minority of hardcore MMA sycos.

With his recent attack on the UFC (see the video below), Wanderlei Silva declared war to his employers and now they are more than happy to see him go away. Things couldn't have turned better for Dana White & Co. - the Commission did their dirty work for them. Let's face it - a ban in Nevada is same thing as a ban in every other state. If you get banned in Nevada, no promoter would want anything to do with you.
Wand is now done with the UFC and he can't go compete elsewhere either, so no Bellator for him.

What's next for Wanderlei Silva, folks? I'd say a new year's eve freak show fight in Japan makes sense for him.
War Wand!

VIDEO: Charles Krazy Horse Bennett Gives Details On How He Knocked Out Wanderlei Silva in a Unregulated MMA Backstage Brawl

Krazy Horse Charles Bennet aka Kid Khaos
Krazy Horse Bennett (who now goes by Kid Khaos) is controversial at best.From his drug dealing adventures, through his stay in jail to his antics in the ring, the guy just has this stigma of controversy attached to him.
But nothing stirs up more shit than his claims that he has knocked out the all time great MMA fighter and Pride FC Middleweight champion Wadnerlei Silva in a unregulated MMA brawl in one of the locker rooms of Saitama Arena, Japan. An almost mythical story...

Pride FC Middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva
It all started back in the Pride days with Krazy Horse getting involved in an locker room brawl against Chute Boxe fighter Cristiano Marcello. Funny to see guys in a street fight who still keep it to the MMA rules of fighting. Anyway, below is a video of this backstage fight where we see Bennet getting choked out unconscious by Marcello. End of story right?
Wrong!

Bennett claims that this was not the end of the fight and that right after he got choked out, he stood up and moved on to knock out Wanerlei Silva who at that time was in the locker room observing the brawl and supporting his Chute Boxe buddy - Marcello.
That's a story that has been floating around the MMA community for quite some time but no body knew any details about this and no body had the credentials to confirm it or to discredit its validity.
Up until today when Bennet finally revealed the whole story in great detail. Well, his side of the story... We don't have to believe him but on the other hand we should not be too quick to discredit his claims. Waiting for Wanderlei's reply. It looks like he may come up with a statement in the next "The Voice vs" episode.


That's right - Krazy horse confirms that he has knocked out Silva once again and blames the Chute Boxe guys for stealing the video footage from the Japanese person who was videotaping the fight and then editing out the part with the knockout.
