UFC heavyweight Walt Harris released an emotional eulogy for his stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard following the news of her death.

Blanchard had been missing since late last month with the entire mixed martial arts community banding together in an effort to find her.

Unfortunately, the search came to a tragic end when human remains found in Macon County, Alabama earlier this week were confirmed to be hers.

“My sweet baby girl… I just wanna thank you for helping me change my life for the better…,” Harris wrote on Instagram. “For teaching me how to be a man and a better father! For being my biggest fan win, lose , or draw! For always knowing what to say to put a smile on my face and lift me up when I was down and wanted to give up. You light up my world I’m so many ways.

I just want you back. I hope I made you proud… I’m gonna keep going daddy just needs time. I love you so much. Look after us like you always did. We need you now more than ever. My lil mighty mighty tiger is a angel now. I love you baby girl forever and ever!”
