In episode #159 of the JRE MMA Show, the famed UFC color commentator and the retired mixed martial artist broke down Bennett’s fighting skills. Rogan was completely in awe of Bennet’s strength. He said, “Bro, ‘Krazy Horse’ had power. I mean, he just put people to sleep. He put a lot of people to sleep. Compact power, too.”

Although ‘Krazy Horse’ never stepped into the UFC Octagon, his reputation infiltrated every single combat sports fanbase. Rogan pulled up one of Bennett’s fights. When the camera focused on the Gamebred FC fighter, he began making faces. Donning gold teeth under the mouthpiece extracted a reaction from Rogan. However, the JRE host was also aware that Bennet lacked skills even though he was pretty strong. He opined, “I mean, he did not have like, the ultimate skillset. He just had crazy power and he was just wild. Very wild. He was strong. Very strong.”

When ‘Rampage’ enquired if ‘Felony’ had some skills in BJJ, the answer came to a stern ‘no’. However, the fighter’s prowess in striking earned him a Rogan’s admiration. The UFC commentator voiced, “No, he wasn’t that good on the ground. But on the feet, I mean, I don’t think he ever submitted anybody that I can remember. But he f***ed a lot of people man. Anybody who stood in front of that dude went night night.“

Bennett competes with bare-knuckles in the Gamebred Fighting Championship. He is on an unfortunate 12-fight losing streak in the MMA realm. While many believed that his ‘wild power’ could help him in boxing, he faced disappointment there, as well. Boxing in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, he faced defeat against Michael McDonald. Johnny Bedford, and Tyler Goodjohn. His boxing bouts also resulted in disappointment. 

‘Felony’ has a professional MMA record of 30-42-2. Despite the disappointing defeats, Bennett successfully impressed one of the big guns in the UFC commentary team. While his knockouts haven’t failed to garner some noise, Bennett indeed needs to fine-tune his skillset. Nevertheless, he is quite a formidable foe to fight against.
