Pri, it's been 21 years of fighting and I confess that I can't wait to continue my second journey. In which everyone who participates will emerge winners. Joana (wife) and I created Belfort Fitness Life Style, a new model of gyms and next year we started opening for franchises. We are very happy with the result. We have a huge list of interested people and our students have become a big family. I'm sure you would love our students, each one with a wonderful story”, said the fighter.

Exactly 43 years ago a princess was born. Her name already spoke of her sweetness. PRISCILA VIEIRA BELFORT was born. Pri, wherever you are, I really want this message to reach you. I hope in the Eternity of the GOD of all creation. You can have access to the LOVE messages. In fact, our father had already said that love is greater than anything. And it is with this love that I come to congratulate you on his birthday. I promise that somehow I will celebrate this day as if you were by my side. Pri, my children ask about you all the time! They want to know every detail of your life. @davibelfort, @vitoriabelfortoficial and @kyarabelfort and of course I couldn't forget your great friend @joanapradob who ended up becoming your confidant... lol Well... we love you very, very much. And Pri just spoke to mom and she promised that on this big day she will celebrate her birthday without staying at home. She told me she's going to go out and walk with a friend... Dad, you know what it's like, right? Lol It remains the same… On that day especially, we all really wanted to be able to hug you and kiss you. I forgot to say; Dad returned to live in BH with our family. He is being very well looked after there. All the cousins and aunts love you very much and say they miss you very much. All of our cousins have now become parents with beautiful children! You can't imagine every beautiful nephew we have!! Well, I write this letter directly from Montreal, Canada, on January 14th I will have my last fight at @ufc. Pri, it's been 21 years of fighting and I confess that I can't wait to continue my second journey. In which everyone who participates will emerge winners. @joanapradob and I created @belfortfitnesslifestyle, a new model of gyms and next year we will start opening for franchises. We are very happy with the result. We have a huge list of interested people and our students have become a big family. I'm sure you would love our students, each one with a wonderful story. Pri, at this exact moment I had to wipe a lot of tears from my face when writing this letter, but I know that each tear is translated by God. Because only He understands this language. I love you lots!!!
