Are there any openly gay male UFC fighters?

The UFC tends to have a brand that is very masculine-presenting. After all, there is nothing more manly than bashing skulls with one another and making someone bleed. Despite this, there are quite a number of fighters in the company who are members of the LGBT but they are all female. Has there ever been someone who outed themselves as openly gay within the male roster?

Well, yes and he goes by the name of Jeff Molina. This UFC fighter outed himself as bisexual and a proud member of the movement. He even released a statement on it: “TLDR: im bi. Not the way I wanted to do this but the chance to do it when I was ready was taken from me. I’ve tried to keep my dating life private from social media."

Molina has won 11 out of his 13 bouts and clarified what the state of the promotion is when it comes to welcoming diverse sexualities: "In a sport like this where a majority of the fans being the homophobic c----suckers they are I didn’t see myself doing this during this part of my career. I wanted to be known for my skills and what I’ve dedicated the last 11 years of my life to and not the ‘bi UFC fighter’ that I’m sure would just be translated to ‘gay UFC fighter.'”

A lot of people have worried about his state because of how Dana White presents the league. However, the UFC head boss does not seem to see an LGBT member of his promotion as a big deal: "I know I have the big ‘homophobe' persona and people think I'm some homophobe. I'm the furthest thing from it. If you're an athlete in the UFC and you are gay, I could care less. You will not be treated any different."
