Suspended UFC Star announces after a large scandal according to BKFC

The unbeaten UFC fly weight Jeff Molina goes to the BKFC.

Molina, a 27-year-old fighter from Missouri, has recently been involved in one of the greatest UFC scandals.

In November 2022, Molina was suspended by the UFC after suspicious bets activity for a fight between his team -mate Darrick Minnerin and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. In the fight there was a strange movement in weting lines so that Nuerdanbieke from Ko won before the knee of Minner went out at a 70-second TKO loss.

Minner was unable to disclose his injury before the fight and was suspended for two years by the athletic combination of the Athletic Commission in Nevada. Both Molina and his head coach James Krause were suspended due to the ongoing studies for bets from UFC fights, sometimes on their teammates to win and even lose.

Molina still serves his suspension almost 3 years later after asked the UFC chief Business Officer for his release from the Premier PhD.

After Molina went through a rough patch at this time last year, he is now mentally in a good place that is fighting again – without gloves.

Jeff Molina confirms the move according to the UFC: 'Nothing comparable to BKFC' '

As a 3-0 fighter in the UFC, Molina announced in the Ariel Helwani show that he signed a contract with Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

“Spoken with [David] Feldman this morning and I'm thrilled, ”said Molina about his BKFC change on Monday.

“I was at dozens of UFCS [events]Some of the biggest cards. I went to the Sphere show. I was probably in four or five BKFCs.

“Nothing comparable to BKFC,” said Molina about the largest bareknuckle funding in the world.

“I don't just say that because I have recently signed. The entertainment factor is through the roof. There is nothing more exciting. Experience is super cool. The fights are as raw as possible.”

The BKFC has recorded a massive increase in popularity since its foundation in 2018.

In the past, Bareknuckle Boxing Promotion picked up former UFC stars such as Mike Perry, Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens, who sold out shows with over 17,000 fans who were present for their 'Knucklemania V' Event in January.

Jeff Molina wants to become a two-division champion in BKFC

11-2 as a professional in MMA with a decade of experience, how is Molina's style transferred to the square circle?

“I was always introduced as a striker,” said Molina.

“I love to grab us. I was in Jiu-Jitsu practice this morning. That would be the only disadvantage when I made naked ankles, I won't grab myself while I'm in the camp, but I think my style is perfect for that.”

When it comes to bareknuckle, Molina has the masterful efforts he had in the UFC.

“I can be the face of Bleary Knuckle at 125 and even 135,” said the flyweight.

“I really think I was done for the sport. Fights can certainly be pretty brutal and cruel … [But] fit. Let's do it.

“I really think I can be a champion with two divisions. I am 27 years old. I am in the primes of my career. I trained and I'm ready to go during this time.”

Jeff Molina says he has no date for his BKFC debut and admitted that he could possibly fight outside of Nevada before November, hoping to get some answers to his current suspension.
