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]
