Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 30, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Ivan "The Pride of Bantamweight" Menjivar! From your epic Lightweight Grand Prix semi-final run to stepping into the UFC octagon back in 2010, you've always punched above your weight—literally. May this birthday bring you fewer bruises and more cake!

Your fearless style has inspired countless fans (and terrified opponents). Here's hoping that today you're tapping out only from laughter and good times—not chokeholds or arm bars. Keep fighting strong through life's rounds; after all these years, you're still our favorite bantamweight legend.

Cheers to another year filled with victories inside—and outside—the cage!
