Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on January 18, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Jeff Monson! You've grappled your way through over 60 MMA bouts, clinched heavyweight titles in Cage Warriors and SportFight, and still managed to keep that intimidating stare intact. Rumor has it opponents tap out just from seeing you enter the cage!

From epic submissions to legendary battles inside the octagon—your career is as timeless as your tattoos are plentiful. May this birthday bring fewer chokeholds (unless you're giving them) and more cake-induced knockouts.

Here's wishing a champion who never backs down another year of victories both on mats—and against candles atop cakes everywhere! Happy Birthday, Jeff!
