Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on August 26, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Hermes Franca! May your day be filled with as much joy and excitement as the moment you unleashed those legendary looping punches to capture the WEC lightweight championship. Your opponents never saw them coming—probably because they were too busy wondering if you'd secretly installed springs in your gloves!

From making a memorable UFC debut back in April 2003, you've always brought passion and power into every fight. Here's hoping this birthday packs just as big of a punch (but maybe fewer bruises). Keep swinging for greatness—and remember: age is merely another opponent you'll knock out effortlessly!
