Jeffrey Molina could be one impressive win away from joining his teammates in the UFC.
A 22-year-old flyweight fighter, Molina (7-2) took to social media recently to announce his participation in the fourth season of Dana White’s Contender Series. The Glory MMA and Fitness product did not reveal an opponent or date for his DWCS shot. The series is set to kick off June 23.
“I honestly feel like a kid in a candy store and haven’t stopped smiling since I got the news,” Molina wrote. “I’ve legit dreamed of this since I was 14-15 years old. Now this summer I get the opportunity to punch my ticket into the big show, move one step closer to being a world champion, and prove I belong with the best in the world in front of Uncle Dana himself.”
A protege of UFC welterweight James Krause, Molina has been racking up wins on the regional scene. Currently riding a six-fight winning streak, Molina has finished all seven of his professional victories. He owns four submissions and three knockouts.
In September, Molina made his promotional debut at LFA 76 when he defeated Chauncey Wilson by rear-naked choke.
