Dominick cruz hans molenkamp2/14/2024 ![]() I bumped into them in Vegas, and I said, ‘Hey, let’s do a funny skit.’ They could have said, ‘No.’ We did a funny skit, and that s*** went viral, like Nick tried to steal my girlfriend. “He wants to post funny skits with you and stuff, but everybody does that s***. It seems like too many people are chiming in, and I’m like, ‘How come nobody is telling the truth about Hans,’ that he isn’t like that? “I think he can vouch for you, but if you already got a Monster deal, he can’t just cancel your contract because you don’t do something for him. “Hans doesn’t even have the power to say, ‘You don’t get a contract if you don’t post this or do that,’” Jackson said. ![]() Ultimately, Jackson seems to believe that Molenkamp is being unfairly railroaded by Cruz and others. “You can ask people like Daniel Cormier, Jorge Masvidal – those fighters need to step up. I get it.’ He doesn’t say, ‘Do this post or you ain’t going to get no sponsorship.’ ![]() Sometimes Hans and I don’t see eye-to-eye, and I can understand why people would get mad at him, but whenever he asks me, ‘Let’s do this post,’ and stuff like this, and I’m like, ‘Hans, I’m overweight right now I don’t want to do this stuff right now.’ He’s like, ‘OK, man. And sometimes, me and Hans, we don’t see eye-to-eye. “Hans, he has that fighter spirit,” Jackson said. Part of the reason Jackson doesn’t believe the allegations made against Molenkamp is because he says that no such thing has ever happened with him despite the fact that he has at times refused to do what Molenkamp wanted. Just because he works for Monster, I don’t know, I think people are hating on him.” “He’ll take a picture with Dana like, ‘Yeah, we’re cooking up some business.’ But I see so many other people doing that s***. That’s what all those motherf****** be doing: ‘Yeah, I’m doing big things with Conor McGregor.’ “Hans would take a picture with Conor McGregor, and he’ll take a picture like they’re talking and he’ll say, ‘Hey, we’ve got some big news.’ He’ll do that, but that’s what social media is. “It’s true – Dana White did have to get on Hans,” Jackson said. “No way will Hans ever ask people, ‘Do this post for me or you’re not going to get a sponsorship.’ That s*** is f****** stupid.”īut though Jackson denies that the core complaint against Molenkamp is true, the former UFC light heavyweight champion does admit that Molenkamp has taken some liberties with his social media presence. If you’re a fighter or anything, and you’re hanging out with your peers or your people, people are going to ask you to do some sh*t. “Hans will ask you, ‘Let’s do this s*** for the Internet, for social media,’ but everybody does that now. “I hang out with Hans when we do Monster shoots and things like,” Jackson told MMA Junkie. Quinton Jackson has been sponsored by Monster Energy for years and has worked with Molenkamp before, and upon hearing the allegations coming out against the Monster rep, “Rampage” has come to his defense. But now Molenkamp has his own prominent supporter. Since Cruz’s allegation, other people involved in the sport have joined in decrying Molenkamp including former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. Monster Energy is a longtime sponsor of both Cruz and the UFC and Cruz explained that his callout of Molenkamp stemmed from what he believes are unreasonable demands made by Molenkamp with the threat of withholding sponsorship money. At UFC 259, former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz defeated Casey Kenney and then used his post-fight interview to callout Monster Energy business development representative, Hans Molenkamp.
