Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on February 24, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Jon Fitch! You're the only guy we know who can grapple Father Time into submission. Ranked #6 welterweight by Sherdog in 2013 and a World Series of Fighting star—your opponents still wake up sweating from nightmares about your relentless takedowns.

Whether you're dominating in the cage or just blowing out candles, you always bring championship-level intensity. Here's hoping this year brings fewer chokeholds (unless they're yours) and more cake-induced tap-outs!

Keep fighting strong, Jon—you're proof that age is just another opponent you've already beaten down. Cheers to many more rounds of success inside and outside the octagon!
