Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on September 30, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Sergej! Another year older and still grappling with greatness—just like your opponents grappled unsuccessfully against you at the World Sambo Championships. Winning gold in 2007, 2009, and again in 2012 proves you're not just aging gracefully; you're submitting Father Time himself!

Now that you've signed with Bellator MMA, we can't wait to see more of those legendary moves inside the cage. May this birthday bring fewer bruises than training sessions do—and may your victories continue piling up faster than candles on your cake! Keep fighting strong (and funny), champ—we're cheering for every takedown ahead!
