Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on July 25, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Javier! Another year older and still rolling smoother than a freshly ironed gi. From dominating the mats as KOTC Lightweight Champion (2001-2003) to earning your 3rd-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, you've proven that age is just another opponent you can submit with ease.

May this birthday bring fewer joint locks from life’s challenges and more victories on—and off—the mat. Keep inspiring us all by showing how true champions gracefully choke out Father Time himself!

Here's wishing you endless happiness, good health, and plenty of cake—just remember: calories tapped out don't count today! Happy Birthday Champ!
