Veteran of K-1 Heroes and Abu Dhabi Grappling Championship (2nd place winner 2005) Rani is a superb grappler not afraid to mix it up on his feet. His bid to win the 2006 K-1 heroes tournament was derailed by Gesias Calvancante who went on to win the tournament. Rani is one of the top ten Brazilian Jiujitsu Black belts in his weight division. In 2007 Rani looks to dominate the 155lbs division in the United States. Look for him as he takes on the top brass in this division on his way to the top.
