Jeff Molina has been winning hearts and minds inside the UFC ecosystem and beyond after his victory at UFC Vegas 56 despite the backlash surrounding him wearing the Pride Month Kit for his walkout. Muhammed Mokaev certainly took notice and made sure that he had his hands on Molina. Though Mokaev didn’t explicitly state so, Molina’s support for the LGBT community certainly seems like a driving force behind the young star’s aggression towards one of the nicest guys in the sport.
The beef started after Mokaev called out the American after his decision victory over Zhumagulov at UFC Vegas 56. In the lead up to the event Molina had faced considerable backlash for supporting the LGBT community by wearing the Pride Kit during his walkout. Though it garnered Molina enough attention all of it wasn’t the right kind. Mokaev however might not have taken offense to the fact that Molina supports homosexuality itself but Molina’s statement where he called people who use religion as an excuse to oppress homosexuals, “a**holes” is what may have set off the 21-year old.

Muhammad Mokaev targets Jeff Molina match for October
As a highly regarded prospect, not many are doubtful of Mokaev being able to secure a victory over Molina if that fight were to happen. However thanks to the internet, Molina has already won the first exchange of this beef that may stay alive for a long time. On Twitter Molina finally answered Mokaev’s callout but it had a small twist.
Molina posted a photo of himself holding a baby with Mokaev’s face photoshopped onto it. The caption read, “Eat your veggies and I’ll see you soon bud.” The hidden detail in the photo is Mokaev’s shirt having a pride flag patched onto it. This led to Mokaev responding to the callout with the worst sequence of words that could be used in that scenario.
“I wanna eat you for my breakfast,” said the young Brit originally from Dagestan not knowing the sexual innuendo behind that statement. Molina wasted no time in responding with a tweet exclaiming, “AYOOO” accompanied by a gif featuring Druski that read “What do you mean by that?”
Mokaev then responded by asking Molina to sign the contract to fight around October and he would do the explaining there. Despite the technical superiority, it was crystal clear who won that round.
