Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on February 12, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Jerry! Time flies faster than your opponents tapped out back in the day. From dominating UFC 12 and becoming Lightweight Tournament Champion to showcasing true grit inside the octagon from '95-'04, you've always been a legend—though rumor has it you're still undefeated against birthday candles.

May this year bring you as much joy as watching old fight tapes of yourself (admit it—you do!). Keep bobbing and weaving through life's adventures with that same champion spirit. Here's hoping your cake is sweeter than victory—and easier on the jaw!

Cheers to another round in life’s cage match!
