“Welp… this fucking sucks. TLDR: I’m bi. Not the way I wanted to do this, but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken away from me,” he wrote. Molina writes that he's “tried to keep [his] dating life private from social media." The star athlete also opened up about battling those feelings growing up and in HS, saying he suppressed feelings he "had throughout HS being on the wrestling team, throughout college, pursuing MMA, and even after making part of the dream happen and getting into UFC."

But his biggest concerns are twofold. The first is that people may treat him differently, saying, "The thought of my buddies, teammates, and ppl I looked up to looking at me different, let alone treating me different for something I can’t control, was something I couldn’t fathom." The second is that they'll view him as that 'bi guy' and that his sexuality will overshadow his accomplishments. "I wanted to be known for my skills and what I’ve dedicated the last 11 years of my life to and not the ‘bi UFC fighter’ that I’m sure would just be translated to ‘gay UFC fighter." Molina also acknowledges that a big reason he didn't want to come out yet is because of the “majority of the cocksucking fans being homophobic.”

Molina slammed the person that shared the video, saying, "To the awful disturbed person that decided to post this ishh, I hope it was worth it.” Molina concluded, “At the end of the day I know my character, morals, and who I am as a person. As much as I’m getting hated on, I’m getting an equal amount of support & it means a fuck ton.” He then thanked his fans for their support, and the support was strong and plentiful! In response to his personal post, fans and his industry peers alike came to his side to support him and offer their praise and love.

MMA star fighter Chris Curtis tweeted his support saying, “The real ones don’t care man. Be happy with you and the rest will fall into place. Glad you can finally get it off ya chest. Fuck the haters.”

The 5'6", sexy as fuck, inked-up 25-year-old from New Jersey has always been an outspoken supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. In June of 2022, Jeff Molina celebrated the start of Pride Month by displaying his custom Queer-inclusing uniform. He got flack from the aforementioned cocksucking homophobic fans, which only made his support even louder. “You’re gonna get me riled up." Molina told an interviewer. "Dude, it’s fucking ridiculous. Man, who’d have thunk it, in 2022… who the fuck cares, bro?” he said at the time." "It’s not even about being an ally," Molina said. Continuing, "I’m not saying I’m not – but it’s just like, just be a decent fucking person. Just be a decent human being.”
