Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on April 22, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Mario Yamasaki! May your special day be filled with more excitement than a controversial stoppage in the octagon. You've always known exactly when to step into action—well, almost always—and we love you for it!

From founding and leading the prestigious Yamasaki Academy to becoming one of UFC's most memorable referees (for better or worse), you've truly left an unforgettable mark on mixed martial arts history. Here's hoping this year brings fewer boos from fans and plenty of laughs as legendary as your iconic heart-shaped hand gesture.

Keep smiling big; after all, nobody dares argue with "the ref!"
