MMA Guru explains his support for Alex Pereira amid Meredith Brown's rape accusations: "Plinio isn't braindead"
Two-division UFC world champion Alex Pereira is under serious fire after recent accusations of rape and sexual assault surfaced from TikToker Meredith Brown on social media. Brown alleged that 'Poatan' coerced her to come to bed with him, while her friend and Pereira's translator were present in the room, then proceeded to sexually assault her against her will.
The harrowing details of the assault, which was alleged to have taken place during UFC 302 fight weekend, were narrated in a lengthy video posted by Brown on TikTok. Needless to say, the post immediately went viral as the 21-year-old social media influencer received both praise and bullying for her story.
Many notable MMA personalities, including YouTuber/critic The MMA Guru, are fact-checking and verifying the legitimacy of the story, as they are serious accusations.
The MMA Guru posted on X with the caption:
"Alex Pereira english update just dropped! You may have heard classics like "uhhh" "uhh" "hello" "tanksmybrudge" "desanya". Now introducing "put my dick into your pussy for me I'm drunk". If that's the first sentence he learned in english then man Poatan is a deviant."
MMA Guru added:
"If this is true it's horrible, but can you take this to the police first before you're tik tok account that has your only fans tied to it? You shouldn't be able to completely tarnish a name without a court date after charges have been pushed for. I trust Alex wouldnt do this, I also trust that his translator would not sit in the room translating his rape to the victim. Pilinio isn't braindead."
What exactly did Meredith Brown accuse Alex Pereira of doing?
Listening to Meredith Brown's lengthy video on TikTok, it was insinuated that the rape was premeditated by Alex Pereira and a friend/translator named Mel after meeting the TikToker and her friend sometime that weekend. Mel allegedly connected with Brown's friend, who is a kickboxing enthusiast/fighter, on social media and invited them to watch the fights in New Jersey that weekend.
Brown insinuated that Pereira and his translator/friend planned out the assault, as they booked separate hotel rooms away from the fighter hotel to do it. After allegedly coming on to Brown physically all weekend despite her refusal to reciprocate, 'Poatan' somehow manipulated the situation to have them in the same hotel room. The alleged rape happened on the night of the fights when Pereira allegedly stripped naked and asked his translator (who was still in the room) to tell Brown to come to bed with him.
After much refusal from Brown to engage Pereira sexually, the UFC light-heavyweight world champion allegedly got angry and kicked Brown's friend and his translator/friend out of the room. It was at this point when the alleged sexual assault happened.
