Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on September 23, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Joe "Diesel" Riggs! From your explosive debut in 2001 to dominating the cage as WEC Middleweight Champion, you've always packed a punch—literally. With an impressive record of winning 40 out of your first 55 bouts, it's clear that age is just another opponent you're ready to knock down.

They say diesel engines only get better with time; clearly they're talking about you! May this birthday bring fewer bruises and more cake slices than rounds spent grappling opponents. Keep fueling up on victories and laughs—you've earned every bit of both today. Cheers to many more legendary moments ahead!
