“Took me a while to find the courage to come out and say this, but I’ve been struggling so much with my mental health and I can barely get out of bed these days,” Brown posted. “Its eating me alive keeping it inside and not talking about it because I’m scared but im hoping this will help me heal and not feel so alone. I know some people wont believe me and think im “chasing clout” and stuff like that but I just wanna feel normal again and im hoping maybe me finding the courage to tell my story is the first step in that direction…

“If any other women have ever experienced this im so sorry, you’re not alone and I hope that this helps you find your voice again too.”

As of this writing, Pereira nor his representation have responded to the allegations.

Pereira was seen cageside by fans and spectators at UFC 302 on June 1. The event took place in Newark, featuring a lightweight headliner between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier.

Pereira most recently defeated Jiří Procházka at UFC 303 in a short-notice main event. As of this writing, a date and venue aren’t set for his return to the Octagon.
