Case was born and raised in Jefferson, Iowa.[4] He began wrestling in kindergarten and continued through Jefferson-Scranton High School from where he graduated.[8][4] He had a wrestling scholarship for college but opted to turn it down in pursuit of mixed martial arts career.[9]
Case began competing professionally almost immediately, losing in the first round in his first two fights after just one amateur fight, a first-round win. He competed for various regional promotions across the Midwest for several years, compiling a record of 18–4 along the way, before signing with the UFC on the heels of an eight fight win streak in the spring of 2014.[10][11]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Case was initially slated to make his UFC debut as a short-notice replacement for Francisco Treviño to face Joe Ellenberger on June 28, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 44.[12] However, Case did not pass an eye exam and was replaced by James Moontasri.[13][14]
Case eventually debuted against Kazuki Tokudome on September 20, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 52.[15] Case won the fight via technical submission in the second round. The finish earned Case a Performance of the Night bonus.[16]
Case was linked to a bout with Paul Felder on January 18, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 59. However, Felder elected to fight as a replacement against Danny Castillo at UFC 182 and was briefly replaced by Francisco Treviño.[17] On December 23, it was announced that Treviño had to pull out of the bout due to an injury and was replaced by newcomer Frankie Perez.[18] Case finished Perez via TKO in the third round.[19]

Professional Fighters League
Racking two victories in the regional circuit, Case signed with the Professional Fighters League to participate as an alternate on short notice against Jason High at PFL 7 on August 30, 2018.[33] However, High was not unable to make weight and Case was awarded a walkover victory with which he advanced to the playoffs.[34]
In the playoffs Case was pitted against Natan Schulte at PFL 9 on October 13, 2018.[35] The bout ended in a majority draw, but Schulte advanced to the semi-finals and Case was eliminated from the tournament.[36]
Rizin FF
As the first bout of his four-fight contract, Case faced Yusuke Yachi at Rizin 14 on December 31, 2018.[37][38] He won the fight via TKO due to a cut in the second round.[39]
Case then faced Satoru Kitaoka at Rizin 17 on July 28, 2019.[40] He won the bout via technical knockout after the initial round.[41]
Rizin Lightweight Grand Prix
After the Kitaoka bout it was announced that Case would be participating the Rizin Lightweight Grand Prix.[42] In the quarterfinals at Rizin 19 on October 12, 2019, Case faced Roberto de Souza.[43] Case won the fight via first round knockout, advancing to the semifinals.[44]
In the semifinals which were at Rizin 20 on December 31, 2019, Case faced Tofiq Musayev.[45] After the back-and-forth fight, Case lost the fight via knockout in the first round.[46]
Return to PFL
In January 2020 it was announced that Case will be returning to the PFL and participating the third season's lightweight division tournament.[47]
Case was expected to face Loik Radzhabov on April 23, 2021, at PFL 1.[48] However, due to an arrest, Case had to pull out and was replaced by Alexander Martinez.[49]

Case was then scheduled to face Luiz Gustavo at Rizin 40 on December 31, 2022.[53] However, Gustavo was removed from the bout due to an injury and was replaced by Nobumitsu Osawa.[54] Case won the fight by first-round knockout 36 seconds into the bout.[55]
Case was scheduled to face Ali Abdulkhalikov at Rizin Landmark 5 on April 29, 2023.[56] However, due to undisclosed reasons, Case was removed from the bout and was replaced by Tatsyua Saika.
Case next fought Japanese Kickboxer Noah Bey at Rizin 47 on June 9, 2024.[57] Case missed weight coming at 158.7 pounds for this Lightweight bout and received a point deduction should this fight go to the distance. Case would go on to lose the bout via unanimous decision in a fight he would've won without the point deduction.[58]
Case has two sons – Kruz and Kuper – from a previous relationship.[59][4]
On April 1, 2021, Case was arrested for domestic battery charges in Las Vegas, Nevada.[60] Case claimed self-defense in throwing the victim to the ground to stop her from striking him. Due to Case corroborating the victim’s report that he threw her to the ground – along with his history as a professional fighter – police deemed him as the primary aggressor. The case was later dropped.[61]
