Background

Krause was born in Newport News, Virginia, but moved to Odessa, Missouri, after his parents got divorced when he was two years old. At the age of seven, Krause began training in karate. [8] [9] Krause began attending Odessa High School in Missouri starting in 2001 where he competed in wrestling and graduated in 2004. Krause opted out of attending college, and instead began working full-time before finding MMA at the age of 19.[ citation needed ]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Before turning professional in 2007, Krause had an astonishing amateur career with a record of 18–1, holding two championships, and for six consecutive months was ranked as the number one amateur in the country. [8] On November 28, 2007, Krause made his long awaited professional debut for Kansas', Titan Fighting Championships, defeating Kevin Hengler via technical submission in the first round. Throughout 2008 and 2009, Krause fought all over the Midwest, mostly in Missouri, collecting a 10–0 record with all of his wins coming from stoppages.

World Extreme Cagefighting

In April 2009 Krause signed on with the World Extreme Cagefighting. He made his debut for the promotion on June 7, 2009, at WEC 41 against Donald Cerrone. Krause was a late-replacement for Rich Crunkilton. [10] Krause lost the fight via first-round submission. [11]

Krause then fought Ricardo Lamas on the preliminary card of WEC 44 on November 18, 2009. [12] After being controlled on the ground for three rounds, Krause lost the fight via unanimous decision. [13] Krause was released from his contract after going 0–2 for the promotion.

Bellator Fighting Championships

Krause signed with Bellator Fighting Championships in April 2010, replacing Ferrid Kheder in the Bellator Season Two Lightweight Tournament. His first bout of the tournament was originally slated for Bellator 15 but was instead moved to a week earlier and held on the Bellator 14 card. [14] Krause fought Season One's runner-up, Toby Imada, losing via second-round armbar submission. [15] The loss took Krause out of the tournament.

Krause was expected to compete on the Bellator 16 card against an unnamed opponent but was forced off the card due to an injury. [16]

Titan Fighting Championships

After being released from Bellator, Krause re-signed with Titan Fighting Championships. His return came at Titan Fighting Championships 17 on March 25, 2011, against Nathan Schut. [17] Krause won the fight via TKO after connecting with a head kick. [18]

At Titan Fighting Championships 19 on July 29, 2011, Krause fought Pride FC and Sengoku veteran, Clay French, in the main event. [19] Krause lost the fight via split decision. [20]

Two months after his loss to French, Krause fought Steve Schneider at Shark Fights 19, winning via second-round submission (rear-naked choke).

Krause fought Sean Wilson at Titan Fighting Championships 20 on September 23, 2011, winning via first-round submission. [21]

Resurrection Fighting Alliance

Krause was scheduled to fight UFC veteran, Chad Reiner, at the inaugural event for Resurrection Fighting Alliance on Friday, December 16, 2011. However, a few days before the fight, Reiner was forced off the card due to an injury. After going through five different opponents, Krause fought Mark Korzenowski. [22] Krause won the fight via head kick knockout only seconds into the first round. [23]

The Ultimate Fighter

Krause was selected as one of 32 fighters to compete on The Ultimate Fighter: Live which aired in March, 2012. [24] In order to gain entry into the Ultimate Fighter house, and become an official cast member, the fighters had to win an exhibition bout with another potential contestant. Krause was matched up against the relative unknown Team Black House fighter Justin Lawrence. Krause was upset by Lawrence, losing the fight via first round TKO, and ending Krause's time on The Ultimate Fighter. [25]

Return to Resurrection Fighting Alliance

After being eliminated from the Ultimate Fighter, Krause returned to his contract with Resurrection Fighting Alliance. His second fight with the promotion took place at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 3 on June 30, 2012. Krause fought a fellow TUF castaway in Amir Khillah. [26] After three entertaining back and forth rounds, Krause was announced the winner via split decision. [27]

Krause next fought at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 4 which took place on November 2, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada. [28] He fought undefeated Brazilian prospect, Guilherme Trindade. Only 31 seconds into the first round Krause won the fight via KO. [29] With the fight ending so quickly, Resurrection Fighting Alliance offered Krause a spot on the Resurrection Fighting Alliance 5 card set to take place November 30, only a month after his latest win. [30] Krause fought journeyman Joe Jordan on the RFA 5 card, winning the fight via submission in the third round. During the post fight interview, Krause called out to UFC matchmaker, Joe Silva, proclaiming, "Joe Silva, give me a call sometime, buddy,". [31]

[35]

Krause faced Bobby Green on November 6, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 31. [36] The fight ended in unusual fashion as Green had previously kicked Krause in the groin area twice, resulting in a one-point deduction.

The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption

In February 2017, it was revealed that Krause - despite being an active UFC fighter - would compete on the UFC's reality show in the 25th season on The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption . [53] Krause was the first pick overall for Team Dillashaw. [54] He was initially scheduled to face Héctor Urbina on the first episode, but Urbina was unable to make weight and the bout was called off. [55] Eventually in the third episode, Krause faced Johnny Nunez in the opening round and won via submission. [55] He next faced Ramsey Nijem and won by unanimous decision. [56] Krause faced Jesse Taylor in the semi-finals and lost via submission in the third round. [57]

The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated

Krause also signed a new, four-fight contract with the UFC pertaining to the last-minute replacement. [68] Krause was applauded for taking the fight last minute. [69] He lost the back-and-forth bout via split decision. [70] The bout was also awarded the Fight of the Night bonus award. [71] Later in the month, Krause with his management team informed intentions to appeal the outcome on grounds of possible conflict of interest: the only judge scoring the first round for Giles was a long time pupil of Giles' cornerman Joe Soliz. [72]

Krause faced Cláudio Silva, replacing Muslim Salikhov, on October 18, 2020. at UFC Fight Night 180. [73] He won the fight via unanimous decision. [74]

In August 2022, during an interview on The MMA Hour, he announced that he had no interest in fighting in the future, effectively announcing his retirement from professional competition. [75] [76]

Professional grappling career

Krause defeated Morgan Bracken by decision at Fight 2 Win 260 on September 21, 2024. [77]

Betting controversy

On November 5, 2022, controversy arose when the call for a sports betting fraud investigation was made on a fight involving Darrick Minner, one of Krause's students, and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke at UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs. Lemos. The UFC was informed by sources that suspicious betting patterns had been observed on the fight. Minner became a large betting underdog just hours before the fight, [78] and the cause of the suspicion came when Minner threw a kick with an apparently injured leg, then kicked with it again after showing signs of injury before being finished by technical knockout shortly thereafter. On November 18, the Nevada State Athletic Commission informed the UFC and Krause that Krause’s license was suspended and would remain so during the course of the investigation. The UFC then announced that any fighter who chose to continue to be coached by Krause or who continued to train in his gym, would not be permitted to participate in UFC events pending the outcome of the aforementioned government investigations. [79] Following the controversy UFC introduced rules that prevented athletes, coaches, and their close family from betting on UFC events. [80]

Subsequently Krause opted to sell his gym – Glory MMA & Fitness – and its affiliates to the owner of the FAC MMA promotion Joe Wooster. [3]
