Blue chip UFC sponsor Monster Energy on Monday said the company is looking into allegations by Dominick Cruz that Hans Molenkamp, a business development rep with the energy drink company, took advantage of his position with fighters for personal benefit.
“We take any such allegations seriously and are looking into it at this time,” a Monster spokesperson wrote to MMA Fighting. No further details were offered.
Cruz, a former bantamweight champion, used his post-win speech at UFC 259 to call for a charity fight with Molenkamp, a longtime MMA supporter and practitioner who’s served as a link between the sport and Monster sponsorships for over one decade.
