Biography

Crane moved to Brazil shortly after high school to train at the Gracie Barra academy in Rio de Janeiro, and then Belo Horizonte full-time. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Vinicius Magalhaes (Draculino) and Carlos Gracie Jr. Upon returning to New Mexico, Crane began teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and opened two academies, one in Santa Fe and one in Albuquerque.[1] Crane is credited as the first American Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt of Gracie Barra.[2]

He started MMA in 2002 in a King of the cage event in New Mexico. After a 2-year break, Crane signed with the UFC in 2007 and lost his UFC debut against Roger Huerta[3] at UFC 74 via TKO in round three. In his second UFC fight against Kurt Pellegrino, Crane did not take advantage of a high kick early enough in the first round. Crane was defeated via TKO in the second round.[4]
