Jeff Molina explains why he did not come out earlier
In a lengthy twitter post, Molina revealed his scenario. He did not want to come out while being a UFC fighter. He feels that combat sports fans, on a whole, are “homophobic.” Besides he did not want to be seen differently by his compatriots, his idols, his fellow fighters just because he had a sexual orientation and inclination that was out of his control.

He found it unfortunate that he had to come out this way, “Not the way I wanted to do this but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken from me.” Especially, when he planned to carry on with his UFC life concealing his sexual orientation, he had to reveal it in an unwanted fashion.
Which is why he was fully committed towards establishing himself as a worthy fighter. He claimed that he only wanted to be known as a great fighter, not “bi fighter” which will eventually turn into a “gay fighter.”
Jeff Molina was sure about his sexuality all along
It is very sad that almost after eleven years of blood, sweat and tears, Molina has to shed tears for all the wrong reasons. He was always careful about keeping his dating life and octagon life separate. Molina claimed that he dated a number of girls. At the same time, he always understood his penchant towards the same sex during his wrestling days, college days and even after fulfilling his UFC dreams.
In his message, he made it clear that he has his own set of moral codes and values. He does not care how much he has riled up the internet. Following these unfortunate events, he is focusing on the fact that he is getting a lot of support too.
The flyweight fighter has a stellar record of 11-2, clinching four of them by knockout. In light of recent events, he is labelled as the first openly bisexual male fighter. This also makes him the first male UFC fighter from the LGBTQ+ community. He has never been knocked out in his UFC career. And as he would make out of it, he would want it to be that way in terms of social media as well.
