Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on August 04, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Bryan Caraway! From throwing punches in EliteXC and Strikeforce to grappling your way through UFC's octagon, you've always kept fans on the edge of their seats. Who could forget when you showcased grit and determination during "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller"? Your relentless spirit made every fight unforgettable.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer chokeholds (unless you're applying them) and more cake-induced tap-outs! May your year ahead be filled with victories both inside the cage—and outside it too—because let's face it, nobody dares challenge a bantamweight legend over who gets that last slice of pizza.
