Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on March 17, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Nick Newell! You're the only guy I know who can single-handedly dominate opponents—literally. Watching you submit fighters left and right (well, mostly right) has been nothing short of inspiring. Your relentless determination in overcoming adversity to become a successful lightweight fighter is legendary.

From your impressive victories inside the cage to becoming an inspiration outside it, you've shown us all that limitations are just opportunities for greatness. Here's hoping this year brings even more epic wins and unforgettable moments—you've certainly earned them!

Keep punching above your weight class (and with one less hand than everyone else). Cheers!
