Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on September 22, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Shamar Bailey! From battling fiercely on "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos," you've always shown us how to throw punches—and take them—with style and grace. Your relentless determination in the octagon has inspired countless fans (and probably scared a few opponents along the way).

Here's hoping your birthday packs as much punch as your best fights did—minus any bruises or submission holds, of course! May this year bring you victories sweeter than ever before, both inside and outside the cage. Keep fighting strong; you're truly one knockout personality we all admire!
