Not long after Cody Durden’s quick finish of JP Buys at UFC Vegas 57, Jeff Molina called him out for a future matchup — one Durden says he would gladly take.
Durden overwhelmed Buys en route to a 68-second TKO win at Saturday’s event at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Molina then took to social media to let Durden know what he’s waiting for him whenever he’s ready to return.
@Cody_Durden it’s time you see daddy

“It’s time you see daddy,” Molina tweeted at Durden.
Durden talked to reporters backstage during the UFC APEX, where Molina’s tweet came to his attention.
“There is nothing to be said, you know,” Durden stated to reporters. “He’s on a three-fight win streak, but if he wants to get his ass beat, we can fight for sure.”
Durden then asked when he would like to go back and what location he had in mind. Durden took this opportunity to tell Molina that he is a clear advantage.
“Jeffrey Molina cannot wrestle,” Durden said. Durden said, “I can f ***** wrestling, I could strike, he would be eaten alive.” If he wants to fight, we can go. It’s been something I wanted to do, but it’s not what I need. .”
This was Durden’s second win in the Octagon after five bouts. In his previous outing, Durden was stopped by super prospect Muhammad Mokaev in just 58 seconds at UFC London this past March.
Molina has won all three of his UFC bouts since earning a contract on Dana White‘s Contender Series in August 2020. “El Jefe” picked up a split decision win earlier this month at UFC Vegas 56 over Zhalgas Zhumagulov to extend his overall win streak to 10.
For Durden, the fight with Molina is one he’s been eying for some time.
” I just called him out following my last fight. Durden stated that he thinks he is a suck.” “I think I can beat him, I think his wrestling sucks, and my wrestling’s better. This is why I want him to lose. That’s it.”
