After his fight at UFC 259, Dominick Cruz made an interesting call-out when he called out the sponsorship executive of Monster Energy Drink.
These two were involved in some kind of dispute over their deal and after the fight Cruz said, “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. We’re in a day and age where if I take a picture with Conor McGregor, 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. Well, I may be your friend, but you can’t use me in order to get ‘clout,’ as they put it.”
“Look at my face, look at my body. I get beat to death for a living,” he said. “So when you try to force me, and you text me that 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.”
“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. Monster pays me.”
Dana White also had some issues with Molenkamp
Cruz revealed that Dana White also had some issues with the same guy, and his call-out is real but this guy calls himself a professional fighter.
“Dana White has complained on this guy. Dana White has gone on this man’s page and said something – they ignored it like it didn’t happen,” said Cruz. “So I’m not the first one to say something. Dana’s also said something. Ask him about it.”
“So, this was a callout because he calls himself a pro fighter. He’s got 100 pounds weight on me, and I’m like, we can make this a win-win situation,” he said. “Let’s do a charity event. Monster picks the charity, and we scrap it out. He says he’s got three pro fights. Let’s prove it. Put your money where your mouth is. You’ve got a little tiny guy calling you out for charity. Not for anything else. Why not?”
