The industry vet has been deluged with negative social media comments since Cruz’s interview. Multiple attempts to reach Molenkamp for comment were unsuccessful. So I’m not the first one to say something, Dana’s also said something, maybe ask him about it.” So if Dana White says, ‘Hey, go on my page, and like my page’-Dana White has gone on this man’s page and said something. “Monster pays me, so the equivalent would be does the UFC pay me? Yes. “It’s not trapped in a contract, it’s forced to give him clout, forced to hype him up if I want to make money,” Cruz said. The contract talk that raised eyebrows was also addressed by Cruz and he made it sound as though he isn’t the only one in the UFC who has had issues with Molenkamp.
Why not?”Ĭruz added that the issue with Molenkamp isn’t personal and his priority is helping a charity to make some money. You’ve got a little, tiny guy calling you out for charity, not for anything else.

He says he’s got three pro fights, let’s prove it, put your money where your mouth is. Let’s do a charity event, Monster picks the charity, and then we scrap it out. He’s got a hundred pounds weight on me and I’m like, we can make this a win-win situation. This was a callout because he calls himself a pro fighter.
So when you try to force me and you text me if I don’t comment on your page, if I don’t give you an interview, that you’re going to take what pays my bills? What are we doing? Monster sponsors me, not you. “Look at my face, look at my body, I get beat to death for a living. Well, I may be your friend, but you can’t use me in order to get clout as they put it. “It was just that we’re in a day and age where you can-If I take a picture with Conor McGregor like this, now I’m Conor McGregor’s friend, right? If I take a picture with Dominick Cruz and have him commenting on my page, we’re in a day and age where that looks like we’re friends.
“He’ll probably love that he’s getting plugged like this, to be honest, so it’s actually a benefit for him, so he should thank me,” Cruz said. At the evening’s post-fight press conference, Cruz elaborated on his beef with Molenkamp, explaining that while they have a working relationship, he feels that Molenkamp is misrepresenting his connection with fighters to boost his reputation. This left a lot of fans watching at home scratching their heads, wondering who Molenkamp is and why Cruz appeared to have such a major beef with him.Ĭruz suggested that Molenkamp, an employee of UFC sponsor Monster Energy, was making unreasonable demands and potentially withholding sponsorship money if those demands were not met. Rather than use his post-fight interview time to name his next UFC opponent though, Cruz instead challenged Hans Molenkamp to a charity fight.
