Jeff Molina ‘not proud’ of UFC 261 win, eyes fight with ‘great value’ Figueiredo brother

Jeff Molina may have gotten his first UFC win, and his first bonus, but he’s not happy with his octagon debut and has his sights set on the brother of the current 125-pound champion.

In the second fight of the night this past Saturday at UFC 261, Molina picked up a unanimous decision win over Aori Qileng in the event’s Fight of the Night to earn an extra $50,000.

After an exciting battle over the first two rounds, Molina opened up in a big way in the third, landing 127 significant strikes—the third most in a round in UFC history.
