Alex Pereira accused of alleged rape and sexual misconduct during UFC 302 weekend by TikToker Meredith Brown
Alex Pereira was recently accused of rape and sexual misconduct by TikToker Meredith Brown. According to reports, Brown claimed that the assault allegedly took place the same weekend as UFC 302 earlier this year.
Brown, who has over 54,000 followers on the social media platform, stated that the incident happened on June 2, right after UFC 302. She described in great detail the interaction that happened in a hotel room, claiming that her friend who introduced them and Pereira's translator were present. The clips are roughly 20 minutes long; however, she hasn't provided any credible evidence to support her allegations.
Brown shared a slideshow with pictures of Pereira competing in the UFC, followed by two images of her standing next to him. MMA journalist Aaron Feldman shared screenshots of every post that she made about the alleged incident with 'Poatan'.
''TikTok user Mere_G_Brown, a 21-year-old woman, has posted these three videos totaling 19 minutes, accusing Alex Pereira of rape during the UFC 302 fight weekend. The UFC 302 event took place in Newark, NJ, while the UFC fighter hotel was in Jersey City, NJ.''

Pereira and his team have not responded to the allegations. The Brazilian was spotted ringside at UFC 302, which took place on June 1, before headlining UFC 303 later that month.
Dana White discusses potential move to heavyweight for Alex Pereira
Alex Pereira's rapid ascension to superstardom has been a sight to behold. He has successfully defended his light heavyweight title twice on short notice and has hinted at a possible move to heavyweight to become a three-division champion.
However, UFC CEO Dana White is not a fan of Pereira moving up to the heavyweight division at this time. In a recent interview with Kevin Iole, White outlined the requirements the reigning 205-pound champion must meet in order to compete at heavyweight.
''I like Alex… Let Alex do what he’s doing in the division. And you know what? If he wipes out the entire division and we are sitting here, who’s next? Then let him move up to heavyweight and do some type of super fight there.”
