Alex Pereira has successfully established himself as one of the biggest names on the UFC roster. He has been part of some of the biggest pay-per-view events in the last few years. Pereira has dominated everyone inside the octagon and has gathered a massive fan base. However, recently, Alex Pereira found himself under some serious accusations.
Earlier this week, Meredith Brown, a TikTok user with over 54,000 followers, posted a series of videos earlier accusing Alex Pereira of ra**. She said the assault happened at a hotel after she and her friend were invited to a night out with the UFC champion and an unidentified assistant. Brown also posted about it on her Reddit page, where she mentioned that it took her months to gather confidence to talk about it.
According to the 21-year-old, the incident took place on the same weekend as UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey. The individual posted a number of videos totaling up to 20 minutes on her TikTok account. Brown then accused ‘Poatan’ of requesting her to sleep with him and provided full details of how Pereira forced and abused her sexually.
However, despite the user’s videos going viral, the entire footage lacks evidence to back up the TikTok user’s charges. Pereira and his associates have yet to respond to the charges. The Brazilian was photographed ringside at UFC 302, held on June 1.
What was Alex Pereira doing at UFC 302?
UFC 302 was one of the biggest pay-per-view events of this year and attracted a solid number of audience. In the main event, Islam Makhachev defended his UFC lightweight title against Dustin Poirier.

At UFC 302, Poatan recorded the event and uploaded it on his official YouTube channel. The Brazilian had fun interacting with his fans by answering their questions. Pereira also met a lot of people including ex-president Donald Trump. After the events, Pereira also talked about his future fights backstage.
Later that month, Pereira stepped in for a short-notice fight at UFC 303, where he fought Jiri Prochazka. The fighter defended his light heavyweight belt for the second time by winning the bout via TKO. Given the circumstances, it would be intriguing to see what develops further regarding the ra*e accusations against Alex Pereira.
