James Krause made his promotional debut at UFC 161 when he defeated Sam Stout in a back-and-forth fight after replacing an injured Isaac Vallie-Flagg in the first place. In his next fight at UFC Fight Night 31, Krause suffered a loss to Bobby Green in a very controversial fashion after the latter hit Krause in the groin area twice.

Following fights against the likes of Jamie Varner, Jorge Masvidal, Valmir Lázaro, and Ross Pearson, Krause would compete in the 25th season of The Ultimate Fighter. In 2018, Krause would join the coaches for Team Stipe in The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated.

After his stint with TUF: Redemption, Krause would make his return to defeat Tom Gallicchio at the TUF 25 Finale.

In his last two fights, Moraes lost to Anthony Rocco Martin and in his last outing in the Octagon he lost to Warlley Alves via third-round knockout at UFC 237.
