Brendson Ribeiro pleads authorities to help find missing brother after UFC Vegas 122 win

Brendson Ribeiro delivered a swift statement in the UFC light heavyweight division at UFC Vegas 122, ending a four-fight losing streak with a dominant first-round victory over Felipe Franco. The win came in under two minutes, marking a turning point in Ribeiro’s career after a stretch of setbacks.

Beyond the fight, Ribeiro used his platform to address a pressing personal matter, publicly urging authorities to assist in the search for his missing brother. Meanwhile, the event saw other standout performances, including Francisco Prado’s first-round TKO of Ismael Bonfim, who faced penalties for missing weight by 7.5 pounds at the 156-pound limit.

Prado’s victory, a rare bright spot in an otherwise uneven prelims card, underscored the night’s mix of high-stakes outcomes and lingering concerns off the cage.
