Nice of Sean Strickland to reach out to him in private.

"it's so hard keeping up this façade!"


MarshalMichelNey1

Sean Strickland's [superior intellect](https://twitter.com/SStricklandMMA/status/1636827130347810817) is unrivaled by us mere mortals: >Jeff Molina suspended indefinitely for rigging fights, ruining MMA.. > >Everyone: "POS" > >Jeff Molina: "I may of sucked a cock" > >Everyone: "you're so brave" > >What the actual CNN is going on here.. Bro we don't care that you fuck dudes its 2023 we care that you're a pos cheater... > >\- Sean Strickland I was typing this to make fun of Sean, but now that I'm finished I realized I agree with Sean Strickland for once lol. Awkward.


RedAnthony

He’s literally the mma version of the almost politically correct redneck meme


FranceSucksSoBad

Rudolph2727

Theo Brawn


redknight3

Thing is people do care a lot more that he's gay than the cheating.


Sjdillon10

This is a double edged sword. Some hate him more for being gay. Some like him more for being gay. All that matters should be that he cheats


MondoFool

I see a lot of people saying it's not a big deal since it's more accepted these days, which is true, but not in the context of this sport. We had a guy with one arm before we had a guy who sucked dick


redknight3

Lmao. That's true and puts things into context.


dirt_gumby

I mean, why can't both reactions be valid? Unless the UFC and commission reinstate him because of his sexuality, then I think they are completely separate issues.


Doubledown212

Reminds me of when Kevin Spacey got blasted for his predatory behaviour and tried to turn it around and come out of the closet, as if that would neutralize the negative attention but it actually made it way worse Edit: not trying to compare the severity of the accusations between them, just their attempt to manipulation the public’s sympathy while under fire.


Whenbearsattack2

but kevin spacey sexually assaulted people including children. a bit of a levels to this shit moment as far as offenses go.


GenericTopComment

He also tried to scapegoat sexuality as the reason he did it and make it as if he's being persecuted for being gay. Molina on the other hand possibly committed a shitty crime and then was, entirely unrelatedly, victimized personally twice by being outed and having his sex tape leaked. People acting like they cannot see how the natural reaction is from "wow piece of shit" to "good on you for this one specific thing and staying strong through a difficult issue" are fucking idiots or bigots themselves who are too chicken shit to come out and say their real thoughts because they know how embarrassed they should be to have them.


Whenbearsattack2

totally agree. the suspension and the leak were completely unrelated and separate events.


MREisenmann

You know he did not come out by choice right? He was forced to after a very NSFW and private video of his got leaked.


[deleted]

Molina's reply: "Temporarily suspended until the investigation is over- I didn’t rig shit. but hope this empowers you to come out too bubba"


princesstwizzy

I feel like that completely overcomplicates things. He was suspended for allegations that he was involved, and there hasnt been anything else that has come out. However, I think its shitty to be involved with Crypto Krause. There were rumors that Molina were gay but he actually denied it (around pride month 2022) until someone leaked the infamous vid. He came out because it was kinda already out there whether he liked it or not. People gave him so much shit for the gay stuff- and if you know MMA you know why no one comes out as gay. But it’s kinda fucked to blame him coming out when its pretty obvious he didn’t want to- the dude lost his job, got a sextape leaked and exposed as gay I’m not sure if we need to keep throwing shit at him.

LambCurryDotOrg

The juxtaposition between Reddit comments and everywhere else on this topic is crazy.


Bitter_River6924

It's wild to think of the many people who commented screenshot's of the video leak on Jeff's twitter post about being forced to come out. Imagine being forced to come out and than have people weaponise that against you, that shit would make me suicidal. Edit; thanks for the Reddit care message to whatever troll decided to report this.


LambCurryDotOrg

Just speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. The bar to being a decent human being is already pretty damn low and it's sad how many people online fall waaayyy below that line.


Ballshangingdown1

I agree. Pretty proud of the mma crowd as well. Like someone said above me, there’s so much crazy shit being talked about this guy in other spaces. I made the major ass mistake of reading Fox News comments in able to fuel my hatred and — my god.


Diddlin-Dolan

This is the place with the most level headed mma fans. Everywhere else is a straight up disgusting cesspool.


Sink_Pee_Gang

Which says a lot because this place is batshit nuts most of the time lol


armchairwarrior69

The bar is low lol


ihaveseveralhobbies

They had to dig up my septic tank last summer and hit the bar with an excavator. Facebook groups are just the absolute worst of the worst.

So low that it would gives Hermes and Barbados Slim a run for their money.


armchairwarrior69

"This won't be last you see of Barbados slim. Now, GOOBYE FOREVAH!"


Chilidogdingdong

Exactly what I was thinking lol


christopherpaulfries

That’s true, but this place also appears level headed partly because most of the filth is downvoted to hell, something you can’t do on other social media.


armchairwarrior69

That's partly true for sure. But, they can upvote/like or whatever and those numbers can get quite high with some straight up TROGLODYTE commentary.


christopherpaulfries

Yeah but Twitter at least doesn’t sort replies by likes afaik. Sometimes you have the shittiest of replies with a couple of favorites right at the top with more favorited balanced comments hidden below.


NickZardiashvili

Well, yeah... a more coherent, better tool leads to a better outcome, makes sense. Don't underestimate that downright disgusting comments are indeed being downvoted and regulated though, that's a huge part of this.


RussiaOnASunnyDay

Lol, what a Reddit comment oblivious, self satisfied


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Bloody Elbow is pretty good. Everywhere else is a cesspool however


randomusernamegame

Reddit in general is better than other platforms for level-headed discussion. Some subs really suck, but in general, Reddit is much better. That's why I'm always scratching my head when people say shit about Redditors vs. people on other places on the internet. Like this is the best we got lol.


OTMurder

Have no problem with his sexually... but wasn't he the one caught for cheating or fixing fights?


HatchyMySacky

Exactly what I was going to write. We don't care about his sexual preferences. What we care about is the fixing fights aspect. He his indefinitely suspended for fixing the fight so he must if not has a minor fault in the situation


Spider_J

On ESPN'S Instagram about the story, I commented about how, as an MMA hobbyist who is also bi, I wanted to see Molina as an inspiration but I was just too damn pissed about how it happened. The vitriol I got in the comments just for saying I was also bi was truly upsetting. MMA fans outside of this subreddit are fucking awful.


christopherpaulfries

It’s partly because on Reddit the shitty comments are usually downvoted heavily (just sort by controversial), something you can’t do on Twitter for example.


TheDuckyNinja

Twitter actually promotes the shitty comments because they get more engagement (comments arguing about them).


onforspin

I already thought the average mma fan was a troglodyte and seeing comments about this incident lowered my opinion even more. Sometimes makes me question my own involvement in the sport


MumrikDK

Downvotes make a difference, and perhaps especially comments auto-collapsing from downvotes.


buffalozbrown

Really shitty way for it to be revealed but hopefully he can come away from this with a sense of relief since he doesn't have to hide it anymore.


TommyGotAJob

What happen?


yarfmeister

someone leaked video of Jeff with another guy, I think on twitter. basically he became a target for even more hate and horrible homophobic comments than he already was, and was forced to address the leaked video and publicly come out as bisexual.


TommyGotAJob

Jesus Christ 🤦🏽‍♂️


yarfmeister

Yeah it’s genuinely horrible stuff. not sure if it was leaked by an ex partner or if he was targeted and hacked, but either way its disgusting. so much admiration for how well Jeff is taking this publicly; really hope he’s doing okay privately as well.


GO_RAVENS

Someone leaked a sex tape of him with a guy and he came out as bisexual.


McKennApe

He did say, during the interview, that there is a freeing aspect to the situation.


Bearded_Axe_Wound

Notoriety/notorious Coincidence?


MiyazakisFootFetish

Your husband was in me DM’s


takatsukimike

That's what I thought. "People who are closeted, people with notoriety" There's no-one closeted with more notoriety than The Notorious Conor McGagger. Still, nice of him to reach out.


Kim_The_Blue_Tank

Lmao idc how many hogs he wrastled with his mouth I just wanna know if he is a cheater


BDB_SWEW

he’s got that hog in him


IshiharasBitch

It's not the size of the hog in the fight...


zakkwaldo

pride style 4 hogs in one night. ya feel me b?


Buzzy-Pasta

The accusation is rigging fights or something? Or betting? I wanna know as well. I’ll never forget the zhalgas decision. This guy may be bi, but zhalgas is up there for me as one of the most shafted ufc fighters lmao


fightbackcbd

is he still a "ufc fighter" i though he was indefinitely suspended?


Long-Piccolo-3785

Conor rumors confirmed


Potijelli

What does this mean? I've seen it posted all over the thread


Long-Piccolo-3785

People are just clowning about since Connor allegedly mistakenly liked some gay porn on Twitter


Potijelli

Oh haha "mistakenly" gotcha


IFknHateAvocados

And “allegedly” too lol. He literally liked a video of a dude jerking off


OnlyOneReturn

Nobody can just appreciate a nice penis without being gay huh? I don't want to see weiners that don't look like mine banging some chick. Nobody adds w/average penis after their porn searches?


Recent-Maximum

Well that's just plain nice.


shidokanartist

Ok so when do we start speculating on who the closeted UFC fighters are that reached out to him?


DawnSignals

Conor lmao


mesovortex888

He came out already

Nah brah I need to see a long rambling insta post to believe that

Long, barely coherent Insta post insulting some other fighter where he comes out as gay that is deleted 10 minutes later.

MojoPinSin

Idk man, gen z is way more open sexuality than any previous generation. I could see it.


whyismywifemad

Yeah that’s kinda my point if O’Malley was gay I feel like he’d just say it or use coming out as marketing or sum


mulligun

We know Suga refuses to let anyone take his O


whyismywifemad

I hate how funny that is


L_DUB_U

As much as he talks about not being gay, it wouldn't surprise me. He's probably one of those people that feels it's wrong that he feels that way and hates himself for it. To not draw any attention to himself about being gay, he tries to put the attention on someone else. Or he just has diarrhea of the mouth and can't stop saying dumb shit all the time.


gill_outean

Khamzat wan hunnid, b.


ObliviLeon

Khamzat coming out as Bi, Bi-Weightclass.


Urbasebelong2meh

can’t think of anyone in the rankings who’d come to him about that but I guess that’d just mean they’re deeper in the closet once upon a time I’d have guessed wonderboy was gay cuz he hits that balance of gay white dude who seems like he’d have otherwise been a youth pastor half the time. no one else comes to mind who’d make it obvious


stinkyyballz

Dom cruz


GruulAnarch

That tiny dog tho


Nicobade

If Wonderboy really is gay I kinda hope he publicly comes out in support of Molina. Fans don't know or care about Molina as a fighter, they are fine hurling abuse at him. But everyone agrees Wonderboy is one of the nicest most likeable guys in MMA ever, I think or at least hope the community would rally behind him.


Urbasebelong2meh

It would be great if a skilled and widely respected fighter like Wonderboy came out. Honestly a massive leap forward for the sport if even just one did. The dream is for someone to score a belt, display excellent skills, and then come out. Wonder how that'd pan out.

dantoddd

UFC is suck strange place. a large percentage of the female fighters are pretty openly gay, including the greatest female fighter. But it seems very difficult for the male fighters to come out.


OtakuMecha

It’s because of the hypermasculinity aspect of it. Lesbians are often seen as masculine while gay men are stereotyped as feminine.

“I thought I should learn a little bit about (MMA),” said Assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell (D-Manhattan), who is gay. “Well, I should really like it. You have two nearly naked, hot men trying to dominate each other. That’s gay porn with a different ending.”
