Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on June 28, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Damarques Johnson! From battling it out on "The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom," to stepping into the UFC octagon and giving fans unforgettable moments from 2009 to 2012, you've always been a fighter who brought excitement and heart. Your relentless spirit and memorable finishes made every fight night worth watching.

Even though your time in the UFC spotlight was brief, your legacy as a tough-as-nails welterweight endures. May your birthday be filled with laughter, cake (hopefully easier to handle than opponents), and fewer submissions than candles this year! Here's wishing you another round of victories outside the cage—cheers!
