At UFC 97 on 18 April 2009 he defeated Steve Cantwell via unanimous decision where he displayed a good chin and disciplined striking ability.

Cané was TKO'ed by Antônio Rogério Nogueira in the first round of their fight on 21 November 2009, at UFC 106. A left hook to the jaw sent Cané to the floor as Nogueira finished with a series of punches on the ground.

Cané fought UFC newcomer Cyrille Diabate on 29 May 2010, at UFC 114[2] and lost via first-round TKO after rocking Diabate early in the fight.

Cané was expected to make his Middleweight debut against Yushin Okami on 11 August 2012 at UFC 150. However, Cané was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Rousimar Palhares. Rousimar Palhares was forced out of the bout because of injury and was later replaced by Buddy Roberts.[7]
