People who live in a little tiny bubble in a chasm, or in a cavern, can look out and pretend that they’re something huge. That’s what we’re living in this world where the internet can botch reality. However, this day and age, look all around us. That’s like, I think, man to man, eye to eye, shouldn’t have to say that to another man. I really expected that this guy wouldn’t need my platform in order to build himself. Expectations are resentments under construction. So in the end, it was my responsibility to create a boundary with this person in the first place that I didn’t do, which created a resentment.
“When looking at the big picture, I come down to I’m responsible for everything I create in my life. Once I cleared, hey, as much as you might think I’m the Lamborghini that you get to stunt in front of, let’s make a clear communication and a boundary right now that that can’t be used. “So I definitely talked it out, but it was coming down to the social media thing, where if I take a picture with the Lamborghini, I own the Lamborghini. So eventually, he said he and Molenkamp talked things out. Looking back on the situation, Cruz said, the whole situation boiled down to a lack of communication. Cruz accused the rep of threatening his status with Monster if he didn’t comment on posts. One of the issues that came to light as the result of Cruz’s post-fight interview was Molenkamp’s position of power and the use of social media for personal benefit. Monster has supported athletes all over the world, and they’re supporting me still to this day, because me and Monster have always been cool - it was me and this person that needed to discuss things and have a clear-off and some communication, and we have.”ĭominick Cruz explains callout of Monster Energy’s Hans Molenkamp Dana White disapproves Monster Energy responds to Dominick Cruz allegations against Hans Molenkamp You can’t get mad at a guy for telling the truth. “It was about me and my relationship with one person, and I called him out on that night, because they asked me who I wanted to face next, and I told them the truth. “This was never about Monster,” Cruz said. With some reflection, he realized that was as much his fault as it was the Monster employee. He just had a bad taste in his mouth after dealing with Molenkamp, and he didn’t hide it. It appeared that might not be the case after Cruz used a post-win interview in March to call out Molenkamp, igniting a discussion about the rep’s behavior, the role of sponsors in the MMA industry, and even accusations of impropriety from former Monster employees and UFC fighters.Ĭruz said he didn’t intend to start a debate about a sponsor he believes has done a lot of good things for fighters.
He might really want to punch me in the face by this point, who knows. “I’m still completely open to a charity fight with Hans Molenkamp,” Cruz said Wednesday on The MMA Hour. That said, the offer he made after his most recent fight is on the table. “I’m sure he made a mistake, but as a fighter there was a lot of time man to look at where you’re at and what you’re doing.” “It doesn’t complete surprise me that the knee slipped out because you’re in the heat of the moment.After talking to Monster and Hans Molenkamp, Dominick Cruz feels a lot better about his relationship with the longtime sponsor and its rep. “That’s just such a crappy position for anybody”, Cruz said on Petr Van’s illegal knee against Aljamain Sterling.
If it’s happening to me, I’m positive it’s happening to other fighters because I’m not dummy.”

“It’s just that this is wrong dealings man and this isn’t professional and this is actually illegal in some ways, the way you’re treating us. Regarding allegations against Monster Energy, Cruz responded. I get how you can maybe give him a round, but not the whole fight, that doesn’t make sense to me.” I just don’t see how you give him the whole fight, anybody.
I don’t know what he was smoking, it was quite simple. “I was in the beginning, but I don’t know how one of the judges gave the whole fight to him. And If I didn’t get the knock out like I was obviously pushing to, I was gonna have to take it into deep waters and let the cardio and the pace do some of the work.”Ĭruz told Lynch about his uncertainty with the final scoring. I was gonna have to push a button, knock him out. He’s from my hometown, Tucson Arizona, and if you know anything about where I’m from, there’s a lot of tough people out there, and he’s a tough guy… I knew he wasn’t just gonna go away. “Because he’s so well rounded, I knew it was gonna take me going into deep water.
