They were both exulted generals.
Gaius Marius was excellent at guerrilla warfare and pacified some minor tribal revolts. On his return from Spain, Marius married a patrician, Julia, Julius Caesar’s aunt. As a consequence, Marius gained entry into Roman circles that had been closed to him. Marius, as commanding general, received the credit for an African war but Sulla had been largely responsible for the victory through diplomacy and guile. This would eventually become a point of contention between the two of them.

The two of them used their influence and reputations as successful generals in a struggle for control of the Senate. Both wanted to be named dictator for life. The conflict eventually led to brutal fighting on the streets of Rome, eventually resulting in Marius's death and Sulla's gaining control.

they fought over power in Rome about 80 BC or so, a generation before Caesar and Pompey had a similar fight.
