Pride Month tee with proceeds supporting The Center, an LGBTQ+ center in Southern Nevada. While some fans were vocally upset about Molina’s allyship, others were excited by the fighter’s support of the LGBTQ+ community — and took the opportunity to shoot their shot with him, while he let them down gently.“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,” he tweeted.Undeterred by the backlash, Molina wore his rainbow shorts during his bout against Zhalgas Zhumagulov in Las Vegas on Saturday, which he won.The subject of the shorts and fan reaction came up during the post-fight press briefing.
Molina didn’t hold back on his thoughts about the hate and hypocrisy of those who oppose his support of the LGBTQ+ community. “You’re gonna get me riled up.
Dude, it’s f***ing ridiculous,” Molina began. “Man, who’d have thunk it, in 2022 … Who the f**k cares, bro? It’s not even about being an ally — I’m not saying I’m not — but it’s just like, just be a decent f***ing person.
