Sean Strickland gives uncharacteristic reaction to Jeff Molina "gay" rumors after homophobic rant

Sean Strickland's final reaction to the recent rumors surrounding Jeff Molina was somewhat uncharacteristic of the middleweight contender.

Strickland has previously said that having a gay son would mean that he has "failed as a man." However, the 32-year-old had a fairly decent response to rumors of a leaked video about 'El Jefe'.

Molina, who has previously been criticized for sporting PRIDE themed UFC shorts, was allegedly seen performing an NSFW act in a recent video. Responding to a fan's comment about the UFC flyweight, Strickland wrote in a since-deleted tweet:

"This sounds like bs to me.. more Twitter f*****y..... But real talk even it was true none of my business how a person wants to live. But 100 percent sounds like Twitter f****y...."

However, the aforementioned fan's comments about Molina came in reply to a long homophobic rant from Strickland. In a very Strickland-like fashion, the UFC middleweight slugger listed a string of acts, questioning which of them would be more 'gay'.

The Southern California native also tweeted about his account being hacked, but not very sincerely, and has since deleted the entire thread.

Jeff Molina allegedly began receiving DM's from guys after repping the LGBTQ community

Jeff Molina is currently banned from competing in the UFC in connection to a betting scandal involving coach James Krause. Molina sported PRIDE themed shorts the last time he walked out to the octagon against Zhalhas Zhumagulov in October 2022 and walked out with his hands raised.

Going into the fight, 'El Jefe' drew a lot of flak from the largely homophobic MMA community over his decision to rep the LGBTQ community. Apart from the hate, Molina also claimed to have interested some men but insisted that he was straight. The 25-year-old wrote:

"To all the dudes sliding in my DM’s I’m a straight guy but pshhh I’m flattered! ☺️ For all the homophobic dudes upset by me repping pride month on my fight kit y’all some fruit cups 🫵"

Jeff Molina currently holds a 11-2 pro record and is undefeated in three UFC outings.
