UFC flyweight Jeff Molina is suspected of having “substantial involvement” in a betting scheme currently being probed by multiple government entities, Nevada deputy attorney general Joel Bekker said Tuesday at the Nevada State Athletic Commission meeting.
The NSAC temporarily suspended Molina last month, as first reported by ESPN, though the commission did not give a reason at the time. That suspension was extended Tuesday, pending the completion of investigations.
Bekker said evidence has come to light that Molina is suspected of being “involved in a substantial way” with the “gaming scheme currently under ongoing investigation related to [MMA coach] James Krause.”
Krause, who is Molina’s coach, and Darrick Minner have also both been temporarily suspended by the NSAC.
