Brendson Ribeiro seeks answers about brother missing since
\nApril 27<\/h2>\n

Speaking through an interpreter after the fight, Ribeiro said his
\nbrother disappeared April 27 in his hometown in Brazil. He said
\nauthorities have yet to provide answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is my blood brother from my dad’s side,\u201d Ribeiro said at the
\n
\nUFC Vegas 122<\/a> postfight news conference. \u201cOn April 27, in the
\ntownship that I’m from, the authorities have not said anything. My
\nfamily has no voice there. As an athlete that has a platform right
\nnow, I just want to get it out there for someone to help us.
\nWhether it’s the governor or the mayor or the authorities, just to
\nhelp us understand what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ribeiro said his family fears his brother is no longer alive but
\ndoes not know what happened to him. He appealed for information
\nthat could bring closure to his father, his brother\u2019s wife and the
\nrest of the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don’t think that he’s alive anymore,\u201d he added. \u201cWe just want
\nto understand. Give us some closure on this. Help us. Whether it’s
\nhis remains. My dad is suffering. The wife is suffering. The
\nbrothers are suffering. I just want to make sure people understand
\nwe need some closure and some information and hopefully end this
\nnightmare that’s haunting the entire family.\u201d<\/p>\n
