Jeff Molina is sharing his disappointment after receiving fan backlash for wearing pride month shorts at UFC Vegas 56.<\/p>\n

Jeff Molina (11-2 MMA) met up with Zhalgas Zhumagulov (14-7 MMA) at UFC Fight Night<\/a> last Saturday, June 4th. The flyweight fighter won the bout but apparently drew criticism over his attire.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the post fight news conference, Molina had this to say (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI was honestly shocked. So I picked the colors because I thought it looked cool and then also it supports a good cause, you know. But I will support anything of a community that\u2019s been oppressed and ostracized for some time now for something they can\u2019t help. I\u2019ll get behind any of that.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing Jeff Molina said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought in 2022 people will be a little more like open-minded and not pieces of sh*t. But, I guess I was wrong. It\u2019s just crazy to me. Like, people were saying some, like crazy sh*t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDude, it\u2019s f*cking ridiculous. Man, who would have thunk that in 2022 people are still, who the f*ck cares, bro? Like honestly, it\u2019s not even about being an ally. I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m not, but it\u2019s like just be a f*cking decent person. Like just be a decent human being.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Finishing the fighter said:<\/p>\n

\u201cLike judging someone and trying to justify with religion and saying all sorts of like just spiteful, hateful sh*t, it\u2019s crazy, it\u2019s crazy to me. It\u2019s mind-boggling. It\u2019s like who cares who someone wants to be with or like their sexual preference like and then trying to justify, the irony of trying to justify it by religion or something that\u2019s supposed to be so accepting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
