Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 04, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Schultz! The man who punched and grappled his way into MMA history as the first—and still only—IFL Lightweight Champion. Your opponents probably still wake up in cold sweats remembering your relentless takedowns and fierce determination inside the cage.

From epic battles to championship glory, you've shown us all what true grit looks like. May this birthday bring you more joy than a perfectly executed submission hold, more laughs than watching an opponent tap out early, and enough cake to fuel another legendary round of victories!

Cheers to many more years of greatness both inside and outside the octagon!
