Proud Papa Alberto Crane Heading Back to the Cage

Alberto Crane had a lot to be thankful for this year. Just two days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Crane's wife gave birth to twin daughters. The proud papa now has three little ones. In addition to recently added twins Sona and Serineh, the Crane household already included 18-month-old son Sevan.

Not only has Crane been busy... umm... at home. He's also been busy working on his career, as well.

"(I'm) fighting Saturday, Dec. 6, at a King of the Cage in Albuquerque at Isleta Casino against a last minute replacement," Crane told MMAInsider.

The win would extend Crane's latest winning streak to three. He started his career 8-0 before dropping back-to-back bouts in the UFC and another at UWC following his exit from the Octagon. A win on Saturday night would be good momentum for the next step in his professional career.

"I'm also opening up a school in L.A. this next month," said Crane. "It was going to be Dec. 15, but looks more like Jan. 5."

Although he's lately been out of the spotlight that shines on the Octagon, Crane has been a busy man, looking to work his way back to the top.
