Jeff Molina shares hilarious supportive DM from a fan

UFC Flyweight prospect Jeff Molina has received a hilarious and supportive message from a fan amid controversy surrounding his recent coming out as bisexual. The fan expressed support for the fighter's decision, adding that he was "gay for [his] fights."

The message came in the wake of a leaked video of Molina performing an NSFW act, which prompted the fighter to publicly discuss his sexual orientation on social media. Molina faced criticism from homophobic MMA fans for wearing PRIDE-themed UFC shorts in his last fight against Zhalgas Zhumagulov.

Despite initially claiming to be straight, Molina recently came out as bisexual in a lengthy Twitter post. He expressed concern about the response from the largely homophobic MMA community, but has received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow fighters.

Jeff Molina shared a supportive DM from the anonymous fan on social media where the individual urged Molina not to worry about the reaction from fans:

"Hey Man I hope you don't think fans will care you're bi. I totally get you wanted to be on top of it and be in control of when you tell people, but I just want you to know that anyone who would care, you wouldn't want as your fan anyway. It'll probably help your brand too."

"You're an awesome guy and an even better fighter. Keep your head up. Plusm nowyou'll hav guys and gals in your dms😂 For the record, that's not what this is lol. I'm straight but I'm gay for your fights 💪"

Jeff Molina's career in the UFC

UFC Flyweight prospect Jeff Molina has been making a name for himself in the division with an impressive 11-2 record. Under the guidance of former UFC fighter James Krause, Molina began his journey in Missouri and gained attention from the UFC after an impressive amateur career.

He made his debut in June 2021, winning by unanimous decision, and went on to win his next two fights, including a dominant first-round TKO victory over Daniel LaCroix. Jeff Molina's off-octagon work as an advocate for mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights has also garnered attention.

However, the 25-year old faced a setback in January when he was banned by the UFC and the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his "substantial" involvement in a betting scandal involving coach James Krause.

Krause was under investigation for suspicious line movement leading up to a fight between Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke.

ESPN reported that Jeff Molina actively encouraged people to join a betting group run by Krause, likening it to "insider trading." The incident has raised questions about Molina's future in the UFC and his reputation as a rising star in the division.
