On Sunday, many in the MMA community took time out from their busy training schedules to celebrate Father's Day.
Fighters shouted out their own fathers while showing appreciation for their kids that make the title of "dad" the most important on their personal resumes, and they revealed how they celebrated their special day.
Even current UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling used the day to throw shots at some divisional rivals.
Here's how the MMA community celebrated Father's Day.
