Originally from Westland, Michigan, Cruickshank began training in combat sports from a young age. Both of Cruickshank's parents are fourth degree black belts in Taekwondo who ran their own schools. His father is a former mixed martial artist with multiple black belts, while his mother is also a former professional competitor in kickboxing and boxing.[7] Cruickshank is a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo and was also a talented wrestler, having competed in wrestling and also swimming since he was in the eighth grade. He wrestled collegiately, and was a NJCAA national finalist, as well as a two-time NCAA Division III national qualifier at Olivet College where he earned a bachelor's degree in fitness management.[8]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Cruickshank made his amateur debut in August 2008 where he defeated Tom Grisham via KO at XCC 11: Duel in Downriver 2. He then went on to compile an amateur record of 8–1 while capturing two titles.
King of the Cage
In his professional debut he fought Ricky Stettner at KOTC: Strike Point, where he won by first-round KO.
He fought Bobby Green at KOTC: Imminent Danger for the Junior Welterweight Championship but lost by a guillotine choke in round 2.[9]
Bellator Fighting Championships
On July 12, 2011, it was announced that Cruickshank signed a contract with Bellator Fighting Championships to fight on their upcoming Summer Series card on July 23. He was to fight Lithuanian fighter Sergej Juskevic but the fight was scrapped at the last minute.[10]
The Ultimate Fighter
He competed on The Ultimate Fighter: Live, beginning in March, 2012.[11] In the elimination fight, he defeated Drew Dober by unanimous decision to get into the TUF house.[12] Cruickshank was selected third (sixth overall) by Urijah Faber to be part of his team. In the first fight on the show, he was chosen to face James Vick of Team Cruz. Despite controlling much of the action in the opening round, he was knocked out with a knee on a takedown attempt.[13]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Cruickshank faced fellow cast member Chris Tickle on June 1, 2012, at The Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale.[14] He won the fight via unanimous decision.
He was expected to take on Henry Martinez on September 1, 2012, at UFC 151.[15] However, after UFC 151 was cancelled, the bout was rescheduled to December 8, 2012, at UFC on Fox 5.[16] He won the fight via knockout in the second round.
He next fought John Makdessi on March 16, 2013, at UFC 158.[17] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. In the final 10 seconds of the Makdessi fight, he had his nose badly injured and wound up having surgery to repair what his doctor called "the worst thing he's ever seen." He underwent the surgery in May 2013.[18]
Cruickshank faced off against Yves Edwards on July 27, 2013, at UFC on Fox 8, replacing an injured Spencer Fisher.[19] He won the fight via split decision in a closely contested fight.

Cruickshank faced K. J. Noons on December 12, 2014, at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale.[25] After a back-and-forth first round, the fight was stopped in the second round when Cruickshank received a second inadvertent eye poke and was unable to continue. Because they had not reached the third round, the fight was declared a No Contest.[26]
He fought Beneil Dariush on March 14, 2015, at UFC 185.[27] He missed weight and was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Dariush.[28] He lost the fight via submission in the second round.
After losing three straight fights, he was released from his UFC contract on March 1, 2016.[33]

While still being under contract with Rizin but unable to enter Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cruickshank signed a one-fight contract with Taura MMA. In his promotional debut, he took on Deivison Ribeiro at Taura MMA 11 on October 30, 2020.[37] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[38]
