Report: UFC’s Abdul Razak Alhassan indicted for alleged sex assault while working as bouncer

Five months before Abdul Razak Alhassan knocked out Niko Price at UFC 228, the welterweight fighter was freed on a $20,000 bail bond for a sexual assault charge.

Alhassan might not have even made the fight had a judge not granted a request to modify the terms of his bail so he could train and fight outside his hometown, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The newspaper, citing court records, reports that Alhassan, 33, was indicted Monday on two counts of sexual assault. He is accused of driving home two intoxicated women and raping both of them inside one of their homes.

MMAjunkie was unable to reach Alhassan or his management. A request for comment from the UFC went unanswered.

An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Star-Telegram said the alleged victims – ages 20 and 22 – were friends who attended a birthday party for a Fort Worth police officer at the Varsity Tavern bar, where Alhassan worked as a head of security.

The 22-year-old asked Alhassan to get them in, and Alhassan agreed in return for her phone number, which she gave him, the 20-year-old said. After the two “consumed a lot of alcohol,” the 20-year-old lost sight of her friend and found her later in a utility closet making out with Alhassan. She said her friend was heavily intoxicated and didn’t remember what had happened.

The next thing the 20-year-old alleged victim remembers is arriving at her home in nearby Saginaw, Texas and Alhassan carrying her friend into her bedroom. She believed Alhassan had left, but when she returned from getting a glass of water, he was standing in the corner of the room. It was then that Alhassan allegedly grabbed her from behind, shoved her face first into the bed and raped her.

The 20-year-old alleged victim said she couldn’t scream because her face was in the bed. She claims Alhassan then moved on to her older friend and also raped her. After the alleged assault ended, she went to her mother, who was also in the house, to report something was wrong with her friend. The friend was vomiting and partially undressed.

According to the report, the mother found a used condom on top of the 22-year-old’s purse and placed it in a zip-lock bag, which was then given to police.

On March 24, the Fort Worth police interviewed the 22-year-old alleged victim, and then were called back the following day to interview the 20-year-old after the 20-year-old alleged being raped. The mother told police that her daughter remembered more details from the assault when she sobered up.

The police officer hosting the birthday party claims he danced with one of the alleged victims and found one of them in the bar’s alley after they called him. The officer said Alhassan claimed he only took the victims to their car.

In May, Alhassan’s attorney filed a successful motion to modify the terms of his release, arguing he would lose his livelihood if he could not train.

The owner of Varsity Bar told the Star-Telegram that Alhassan quit “months ago,” claiming he was going through personal issues.
