That only intensified after both men said they would take the fight and for the Glory MMA & Fitness head coach in Krause, he said it all started about six weeks ago.

James Krause has had his hand involved in many ways with mixed martial arts. He’s on a four-fight win streak in the lightweight division, he’s a former Ultimate Fighter contestant, and he’s also coached on Team Miocic during this current season of TUF. Although he’s been successful inside the Octagon, Krause has been finding more gratitude and happiness in being a coach. Krause is the main coach for Megan Anderson who is making her much anticipated UFC debut after plenty of success in Invicta FC. Entering her UFC debut on a four-fight win streak of her own, Anderson will take on former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm in the first ever non-title women’s featherweight fight.
