Jeff Molina, a UFC flyweight, has publicly stated that he is bisexual.

 

Immediately following the internet posting of a video of him engaging in oral sex with another man, the 25-year-old fighter made the announcement via Twitter on Friday. At this point in his career, Molina said he had no intention of disclosing the information since he preferred to be recognized for his athletic prowess as opposed to his sexual orientation. In the opinion of TMZ Sports, Molina is the first male UFC fighter to publicly identify as non-heterosexual.

 

“TLDR: im bi,” Molina wrote in a lengthy message. “Not the way I wanted to do this but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken from me. I’ve tried to keep my dating life private from social media.”

 

Molina claimed that he has always dated women and has made an effort to repress his desire to other men. He claimed that his main worry was that if he came out and began living his truth, the people in his life—such as friends, teammates, and individuals he looked up to—would begin to regard him differently.
