UFC fighter Brendson Ribeiro pleads for help finding missing brother after emotional victory

Brendson Ribeiro used his victory at UFC Vegas 122 to ask for help finding his missing brother in Brazil. Ribeiro snapped a four-fight losing streak on the Fight Night card this past weekend by submitting Felipe Franco in the first round of their light heavyweight bout. It was the first time the Brazilian light heavyweight had tasted victory since March 2025 and the 30-year-old was overcome with emotion afterwards. Members of the media quickly found out exactly why Ribeiro was so upset despite winning when he explained his brother has been missing for almost six months.
