UFC fighter Jeff Molina shared an emotional message with fans in which he came out as bisexual after being outed on social media.

“Welp.. this f**king sucks,” he wrote, after a video of him with another man was leaked. “TLDR: im bi. Not the way I wanted to do this but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken from me.”

“I’m a pretty masculine dude and that bro-y banter and sus sense if humor has always been how I am. The thought of my buddies, teammates, and ppl I look up to looking at me different let alone treating me different for something I can’t control was something I couldn’t fathom.”

“In a sport like this where a majority of the fans being the homophobic c**ksuckers they are I didn’t see myself doing this during this part of my career.”

He expressed his fears that coming out would mean being known for his sexuality, rather than his talents. He then said that while he is indeed “getting hated/shitted on” he is also “getting an equal amount of support.” He also took aim at the person who outed him.

“To the awful disturbed person that decided to post this ishh I hope it was worth it.”

On Twitter, his note received a wave of support from followers.

Saddens me that you weren’t able to do this on your own terms, horrible thing for that person to do, but you know who you are and I’m sure this will resonate with someone going through the same thing in the MMA space. Thanks for even sharing.
