Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on April 24, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Michael Chandler! From your explosive debut as 2011's Breakthrough Fighter of the Year to climbing all the way up to #3 lightweight in the world by FightMatrix in 2013, you've always packed a punch—literally. Your fights are like birthday candles: bright, fiery, and usually ending with someone getting blown out.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more highlight-reel knockouts and fewer bruises (though we know you wear them proudly). Keep swinging for greatness—just remember to duck occasionally. Cheers to another year of epic battles and unforgettable victories. Stay fierce, stay funny, stay Chandler!
