Luiz Cane was an unknown when he made his UFC debut against James Irvin, but he is surely known now. Jumping off to a 7-0-1 record before joining the UFC, Cane has rolled off victories against the talented Jason Lambert, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Steve Cantwell. His fight with Cantwell was his only professional fight that made it to the judges scorecard.

Luiz Cane also has some unfinished business with fellow UFC fighter and brazilian Thiago Silva as well as MMA icon Wanderlei Silva. "Back when Thiago Silva won the Fury FC title, Wanderlei Silva was in his corner. In his post-fight comments, he has said many negative things about me and said that I was ducking him. Wanderlei Silva also made a comment about me ducking him (Thiago). Ever since then, I lost my admiration for Chute Box. Me and my family and friends worked real hard. I had to deal with a lot of my friends and family passing away. Now that I'm in the UFC, I will make them proud." As well as, "I hope to fight both Thiago and Wanderlei because I know that I could beat both of them and show them I don't duck anyone. I'm going to make so much noise in the UFC and in this sport, that everyone will know who Banha is. I refuse to go unrecognized any longer."
