Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on October 05, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Rich Franklin! From math teacher to UFC Middleweight Champion—your journey has been nothing short of legendary. Who could forget your epic battles inside the octagon, especially when you clinched that championship belt back in 2005? You taught opponents a lesson they'd never forget (and probably some algebra too!).

Even though you've hung up those gloves for good, you're still knocking out success outside the cage with grace and humor. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as watching one of your classic fights—and fewer bruises afterward!

Cheers to another year filled with victories both big and small!
