Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on January 10, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Rorion Gracie! The man who single-handedly grappled Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into America's heart, proving once and for all that pajamas aren't just for bedtime. Your relentless passion has inspired countless fighters—and terrified even more opponents.

From founding the UFC to showcasing BJJ's effectiveness worldwide, your legacy is unmatched. You've taught us valuable life lessons: patience on the mats, humility in victory (and defeat), and most importantly—never underestimate someone wearing a belt that's darker than yours. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and absolutely no surprise rear-naked chokes from family members!
