Mollies shouldn't be kept with goldfish. Mollies are tropical fish and goldfish are cold water fish. It sounds like you may have 2 male mollies. Check their anal fin and see if it is long and pointy. If it is then it is a male. If you have 2 males you need to get some females. Get at least 2 females for each male. That should take their attention away from beating up other fish.

It sounds like they're mating to me, and not fighting
tropical livebearers don't fight with each other, they get along just fine
As for the goldfish, you shouldn't have put him in there
Here are some articles you could read up on
