Dominick Cruz
The former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz called out the spokesperson of Monster Energy, Hans Molenkamp after his recent victory. He asked for a charity bout with Hans, but now he has cleared up any confusion with his ongoing beef with the company.
Talking to Ariel Helwani from The MMA Hour, he said, “I’m still completely open to a charity fight with Hans Molenkamp. That’s there. I think Hans might be open to that, too. I don’t know. He might really want to punch me in the face by this point, who knows. But I have no beef with Monster.”
“This was never about Monster,” Cruz said. “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. You can’t get mad at a guy for telling the truth.”
“It was my responsibility to create a boundary with this person,” Dominick Cruz blames himself for creating the problem
Cruz blamed himself for letting his relationship with Hans to a point where he started exploiting him, he said, “When looking at the big picture, I come down to I’m responsible for everything I create in my life. 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. Expectations are resentments under construction. I really expected that this guy wouldn’t need my platform in order to build himself.”
Cruz pointed out the clout that everyone is chasing right now, he said, “What we’re living in this world where the internet can botch reality. 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. So when you grab on to people that are doing something with their life and run with it, you can now latch ahold of that and make something of yourself.”
