Undefeated UFC standout Jeff Molina is headed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
In November 2022, Molina was suspended by the UFC after suspicious betting activity was detected ahead of a fight between his teammate Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. Sportsbooks reportedly observed unusual movement in the betting lines favoring Nuerdanbieke to win the bout by knockout.
70 seconds into the scrap, Minner’s knee gave out, resulting in a TKO stoppage for Nuerdanbieke. Minner had failed to disclose a pre-fight injury and, as a result, was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for two years.
