It sounds like they think she ran away....they aren't even getting the police involved yet. ""we do not involve the policy in the case. We have hope that it has only run away ", said a friend of Joana the Prado (woman of Victor Belfort), that it did not want to be identified.""quote from: http://exclusivo.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI250870-EI1118,00.html via altavista.com translator.
agreed
I think it might be possible that Vitor will train harder than ever before because of this. I mean, he can either sit at home and worry, or try to get his mind off it by immersing himself in his training.
Look what happened to Brett Favre, he's completing a lackluster football season, his father dies, and suddenly his quarterback rating skyrockets.
I think it all depends on the person though.
LOL @ beatbum
And I hope they find her very soon. Brazil is not a nice place to be missing..
Damn this is terrible news.I hope it turns out alright and she's found safe soon.
I hope the story is false and that Vitor's sister is safe.
My prayers are with Vitor and his family.

The fighter Vítor Belfort was to the Medical-Legal Institute (morgue) to the search of the sister.
The sister of the fighter Vítor Belfort, Priscila Vieira Belfort, 29 years, is disappeared since friday, when was left by the mother to 10h in the Avenue President Vargas, in the Center, next to its workstation, the Secretariat of Sports. Priscila, that suffers from bipolar riot (maniac-depressive psychosis), did not appear in the office, worrying the colleagues, since does not use to lack to the service. Since then, the family comes covering hospitals of the city, without notice on its destiny. Policemen of 14ª DP (Leblon) also investigate the disappearance.
Yesterday, Vítor, her only brother, was in Instituto Médico-Legal (IML) to verify the body of a woman who had given entered in the institute in the same day of the disappearing of Priscila. "This never happened before. She did not appear in the work. Already we talked with all the close friends, but nobody knows of nothing ", said Vítor, shaken with the missing of the sister, to whom is very close.
The bipolar riot does not have cure and is esteem that it reaches two in each 10 people. Badly chronic, it consists of cycles of euphoria and depression, intercalated with periods of normal behavior. According to her family, she also suffers from loss of memory. Priscila took little money in the wallet and it did not have credit card. The last time where it was seen, dressed pants, colorful t-shirt chess and light blue gray coat.
Wife of the fighter, Joana Prado, the Witch, is in Rio following the searches. The couple would come back today toward São Paulo, but it must postpone the return. Vítor would go to prepare itself for the fight that it has set appointments for day 31 in Las Vegas, United States. The family makes one appeals to who will have some information, so that she enters in contact for the telephone (11) 8126-7128.
This really sucks....
Peace and''um grande abraço''

To everyone saying that, it's the same as when this person's mom died or this person's dad died, IT'S NOT!!!
There is a huge difference between the finality of death and the uncertainty of a missing person.
According to brazilian papers, Vitor went in to the morgue to identify the body of a young female that was found around the time of his sister disappearance. It wasn't her. That has got to be a disturbing experience.
On his website URL posted by DonnaTroy it says something about it but not in English. I guess it is true so I hope they find her. I also hope she is just out on her own doing her own thing and doesn`t want to be bothered right now while she deals with her problems. Wonder what her history is of things like this? If she has done it before it is different than her just disappearing for the first time.
I don`t like the circumstances and this may be the best reason for Vitor not to fight that I have seen yet. Way better than the worm or the water bottle.
Still why does this have to happen everytime he is getting ready for a fight people are looking forward to seeing and he has been looking forward to himself?
Maybe there is Vitor curse or something.
Here are some things I didn`t understand in the translation:
"Wife of the fighter, Joana Prado, the Witch, is in Rio following the searches"
The witch? What does that mean?
Also:
""we do not involve the policy in the case. We have hope that it has only run away ", said a friend of Joana the Prado (woman of Victor Belfort), that it did not want to be identified.""
No police involved? Now that sounds a lot different if that is true.

There is a pic on his website for those of you interested.
hoping for the best....
prayers for Vitor.
buddie
She disapperared in July (based on original post)? Vitor seems to have put it out of his head to some degree. He just got married didn't he? Why is this "news" all of the sudden unless the July date in REMO's post is incorrect?
ironmik, that was the registration date of the guy who posted that on sherdog's forum.
My bad. When did she disappear?
a few days ago i guess
