Ses parents n&rsquo;avaient pas les moyens de le mettre dans un club, alors il a encha\u00een\u00e9 les essais gratuits en karat\u00e9 et taekwondo avant de tomber amoureux du MMA \u00e0 14 ans \u2014 une nuit devant l&rsquo;UFC \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9 et une partie de jeu vid\u00e9o plus tard, la d\u00e9cision \u00e9tait prise. En 2017, il rejoint la team Glory MMA &amp; Fitness \u00e0 Olathe, Kansas, dans l&rsquo;entourage du coach James Krause, et d\u00e9bute en pro la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>Surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0El Jefe\u00a0\u00bb depuis le coll\u00e8ge \u2014 un surnom que lui avait coll\u00e9 le p\u00e8re mexicain de son meilleur ami, qui s&rsquo;amusait \u00e0 prononcer \u00ab\u00a0Jeffrey\u00a0\u00bb en espagnol \u2014 Molina se construit un bilan solide entre poids mouche (57 kg) et coq : 10 victoires cons\u00e9cutives avant d&rsquo;atteindre l&rsquo;UFC, avec 4 KO et 4 soumissions au compteur. Ceinture violette en JJB, champion national de Muay Tha\u00ef classique : le bonhomme est complet.<\/p>\n<h3>Entr\u00e9e fracassante dans l&rsquo;Octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Le 25 ao\u00fbt 2020, il passe l&rsquo;audition qui compte : la Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series, o\u00f9 il bat Jacob Silva par d\u00e9cision unanime et signe direct avec l&rsquo;UFC. Sept mois plus tard, le 24 avril 2021 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 261, il fait ses d\u00e9buts face \u00e0 Aoriqileng \u2014 et c&rsquo;est du brutal. Trois rounds de guerre, une d\u00e9cision unanime en sa faveur, et le bonus Fight of the Night pour couronner le tout. Il \u00e9tablit ce soir-l\u00e0 un record UFC avec 220 frappes tent\u00e9es au troisi\u00e8me round.<\/p>\n<p>La suite confirme l&rsquo;impression : le 23 octobre 2021, il r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Daniel Lacerda en TKO \u00e0 0:46 du deuxi\u00e8me round (UFC Fight Night : Costa vs. Vettori).

Un top 10 en construction, une trajectoire nette vers le titre des poids mouches.<\/p>\n<h3>La suspension qui a tout arr\u00eat\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>Le 5 novembre 2022, lors de l&rsquo;UFC Vegas 64, son co\u00e9quipier Darrick Minner s&rsquo;incline face \u00e0 Shayilan Nuerdanbieke.
