Due to the current suspension of Jeff Molina, the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has withdrawn their announcement.
After admitting to being a part of an illegal betting scandal, American Molina was given a three-year suspension in March.
The 27-year-old was signed by KFC on Tuesday, but the company later made a U-turn about the announcement.
The bareknuckle promotion wrote on X that “the announcement regarding Jeff Molina’s signing was premature.”
“We respect the Athletic Boxing Commission’s] current suspension and adhere to their rules and suspensions,” the ABC stated.
After betting on fellow fighter Darrick Minner before losing to Shayilan Nuerdanbieke in November 2022, Molina, who has won all three of his UFC fights since making his debut in 2021, was sent off by ABC and the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Before the fight, Minner concealed a serious injury that Molina was aware of prior to the fight.
American Minner, 35, was given a 29-month suspension for his involvement in the scandal.
