Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on July 18, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Hatsu Hioki! You're the only featherweight fighter we know whose grappling skills are sharper than a samurai sword. Winning championships from Sengoku Raiden to Shooto and TKO was impressive, but managing to fold grown men into pretzels—that’s legendary. We're glad the UFC signed you back in 2011; secretly it was for everyone's safety, so you'd stop collecting belts elsewhere.

Seriously though, your ground game is smoother than Brazilian coffee and your submissions always leave spectators confused—wondering if they just witnessed martial arts mastery or some sort of magic trick. Here's wishing you another spectacular year ahead!
