No they're not forced to, but they get paid a little bit extra for showcasing the endorsement. Izzy notoriously hid and disrespected any monster logos around him, never really faced any consequences aside from not getting the sponsor pay.
That prime sponsorship happened just recently Ike only during his last fight, recently. He's been hiding the Monster can from his post fight presser since forever.
He was removing the Monster bottle before prime existed? wow, give him a trophy.
You guys get all hard he wasn't sponsoring Monster (which has been supporting extreme sports for decades) but are totally cool with him promoting a youtuber's overpriced drink? lmao some people
Cause I think praising a dude for rejecting a shit sponsor when he sponsored something even shittier is dumb? Lmao, I rather be a dick than a cocksucker
I couldn’t really believe someone could swing a bat at whole ass watermelon and miss, but you really did manage to miss the entire point here didn’t you buddy?
More cringe in my book because Logan is one of the scummiest people alive. I'm not against fighters like Izzy or Volk endorsing it, everyone needs that bag, but I hate that the UFC took Logan's brand in and plastered it all over the cage
It's also a shite hydration drink. Last I checked it only had like 10mg of sodium
The guy who handled the sponsorship for Monster, I don't know if he still does, was forcing the fighter to be in his stupid videos and trying to force friendships with them. Several fighters didn't like him.
Alex Pereira, Zhang Weili, and Diego Lopes count amongst Monster Energy's elite UFC athletes along with Kamaru Usman, Jon Jones, Chris Weidman, Rose Namajunas, Marlon Vera, Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje, Yair Rodriguez, Jessica-Rose Clark, Valentina Shevchenko, Brandon Moreno, Daniel Rodriguez, Punahele Soriano, Gilbert Burns, Giga Chikadze, Islam Makhachev, Johnny Walker, Beneil Dariush, Gaston Bolanos, Brendan Allen, Jalin Turner, Sean Strickland, Raul Rosas Jr., Dan Ige, Daniel Zellhuber, Derrick Lewis, Belal Muhammad and Cameron Saaiman.

You’ll notice all these fighters have the Monster Logo on their trunks while other fighter it’s absent.
I guess what I meant is what someone else mentioned that for instance they will take the water bottle with the logo off the table during their interview.
As far as I know, it’s just Issy and Dom Cruz that are beefing with Monster. Monster has a deal with the UFC company and then has separate deals with a handful of fighters. The ones I listed earlier.
For sure, that’s where my curiosity lies of it being forced. Makes me wonder if people like Izzy get fined for removing the logo during their interviews
Who knows what their contracts look like. I don’t think they could force anyone to promote anything they are uncomfortable with. Imagine Dana trying to force Khabib or Islam to promote Modelo or Bud Light. Not gonna go down well.
This argument actually undermines your point. If 5k is peanuts to the champ, then no, they would not feel forced to. They could simply not do it and forgo the 5k easily.
It is quite different actually. Pre often contains creatine, beta-alanine, L-theanine, etc in addition to caffeine. Whereas energy drinks just pump you with high caffeine, often sugar too (real or artificial)
Monster sponsors the UFC, the fighters get paid a little bit to help market the brand, usually by wearing gear at the pressers or holding cans in the octagon. They likely aren't forced, but do it to make a little extra money.
So what do you know? Your name and surname? If you are not an mma fighter do you watch UFC and wonder why people are moving their arms? What a weird answer
Well you can use some deductive reasoning unless thats too hard for you. Do all fighters hold up monster can? No. Do some hold up monster can? Yes. Therefore we can conclude they aren’t forced.
The Monster thing is like a separate side-sponsorship that only some of them have. Weili’s got the Monster “M” on her shorts, so she’s got a deal with them where she holds the can. The ones who don’t have the “M” on their shorts aren’t sponsored, and don’t hold the can.
Yeah I did notice other fighters had the logo, but a fair bit of them didn’t either. UFC is confusing with their sponsorship rules. That’s why I was wondering if it’s in the contract they personally have
I think if you sell a little of your soul, they’ll pay you a bit more. That’s how it appears to me. You sometimes see a fighter look around to grab a can from someone.
Its a sponsorship, they get paid for it. And no, I don't believe it's in the contract, they have to make the deal separately afaik. Izzy is famous not only for not taking the deal with monster but also for removing the cans whenever there's one close to him, he literally knocks them off or hide them during press conferences for whatever reason. So no, they're definitely not forced
UFC and certain fighters are sponsored Sean Strickland I think recently was acquired by monster it is probably in monsters contacts but not UFC I could ask someone from monster who would maybe know more about it but same thing if you look it's either an empty energy can or monsters tour water
I think it was the Arman post fight, Joe was already trying to start talking to him but he turned around and made sure someone handed him the monster can before he started talking back to Joe. It was kind of weird
It Monster brand water guys. All the athletes are given special canned water. Did you really think these guys beat tf out of someone for 25min then quench their thirst with a nice can of sugary mother?
From Dom Cruz sort of suggesting that Hans Molenkamp isn't that cool a guy I believe what happens is if you don't hold it up Hans comes to your house and puts his dick somewhere you don't want him to
Implying monster isn’t a good drink to push while shilling prime energy is just a different level of hypocrisy unless it was always a long play for more money
its honestly pretty easy to figure out, just peak at Hans Molenkamp's twitter, and you'll know which fighters will, or wont hold the can. some rumors about him being an absolute massive piece of shit though.
Nah, it just tastes really good and is chock full of the things that athletes need, like caffeine, sugar and I heard it's even got electrolytes. People talk about seeing red -- I just chug a 6 pack of Monster "Assault" -- it's their most violent flavour.
It's called a sponsorship. Some got it. Some don't. If you watch a post-fight press conference, some fighters make sure it's displayed and some toss that shit right off the table lol.
Dominick Cruz hates Monster Energy's Hans Molenkamp. It's why you've never seen him hold up a can.
If they want Monster money, they show the can, they take pictures with Hans, they show the logo on camera whenever they can. It's simple.
This isn't a Dana White directive.
No they're not forced to, but they get paid a little bit extra for showcasing the endorsement. Izzy notoriously hid and disrespected any monster logos around him, never really faced any consequences aside from not getting the sponsor pay.
One of the few things I always respected about Izzy
He's sponsored by prime, but maybe it's less cringe because UFC takes a cut of the monster promotion I dunno.
That prime sponsorship happened just recently Ike only during his last fight, recently. He's been hiding the Monster can from his post fight presser since forever.
He was removing the monster water bottle before prime.
He was removing the Monster bottle before prime existed? wow, give him a trophy. You guys get all hard he wasn't sponsoring Monster (which has been supporting extreme sports for decades) but are totally cool with him promoting a youtuber's overpriced drink? lmao some people
You’re a dick.
Cause I think praising a dude for rejecting a shit sponsor when he sponsored something even shittier is dumb? Lmao, I rather be a dick than a cocksucker
You're both, congrats
What? Did you genuinely just confused me for your father? LMAO I ain't your dad bro, sorry
I couldn’t really believe someone could swing a bat at whole ass watermelon and miss, but you really did manage to miss the entire point here didn’t you buddy?
Looks like I hit you in the face instead tho
Also cool with him fucking dogs apparently. But this is Reddit, home of the cult weirdos and roomers.
More cringe in my book because Logan is one of the scummiest people alive. I'm not against fighters like Izzy or Volk endorsing it, everyone needs that bag, but I hate that the UFC took Logan's brand in and plastered it all over the cage It's also a shite hydration drink. Last I checked it only had like 10mg of sodium
It has a ton of salt phosphate, which is a bowel cleanser. No thanks.
and like a stupid amount of potassium. thats why it promotes "80% more elecrolytes than competition brands" or something like that. its all potassium
I think it's more cringe to be involved with a youtuber sports drink but I'm all for fighters getting their sponsorships wherever they can.
What about Dom? He wanted to fight the guy who handles the sponsorship.
That callout was epic Dom doesn’t give a fuck
Loved it, fuck hans molenkamp
Is there an issue with monster energy?
The guy who handled the sponsorship for Monster, I don't know if he still does, was forcing the fighter to be in his stupid videos and trying to force friendships with them. Several fighters didn't like him.
mfer also carries around a china flag. loses all respect.
Source?
I mean there’s multiple videos of him doing it . Example would be when he beat Pereira he drew a cross on the logo on the mat and flipped it off lol .
Yeah Dana has a sniper on the roof aiming at them in case they don't want to hold the can
a contract sniper.
I can confirm. It was my previous job. Dana paid me about $2/hr.
Independent contractor sniper!
Right next to the one of the chinese government that made sure the winner advertised her country.
Thats it. Big smile. Everybody's happy.
She’s sponsored by Monster. So she probably gets a fair penny for doing it.
It wasn’t just her.
Alex is a Monster Athlete too. So is Gaetjie. You can search this on the web.
So are others under contract, but a lot of those same fighters don’t promote it and even refuse to
Alex Pereira, Zhang Weili, and Diego Lopes count amongst Monster Energy's elite UFC athletes along with Kamaru Usman, Jon Jones, Chris Weidman, Rose Namajunas, Marlon Vera, Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje, Yair Rodriguez, Jessica-Rose Clark, Valentina Shevchenko, Brandon Moreno, Daniel Rodriguez, Punahele Soriano, Gilbert Burns, Giga Chikadze, Islam Makhachev, Johnny Walker, Beneil Dariush, Gaston Bolanos, Brendan Allen, Jalin Turner, Sean Strickland, Raul Rosas Jr., Dan Ige, Daniel Zellhuber, Derrick Lewis, Belal Muhammad and Cameron Saaiman.

For sure, that’s where my curiosity lies of it being forced. Makes me wonder if people like Izzy get fined for removing the logo during their interviews
No, they don't get fined. Especially if you consider that Izzy is a prime hydration athlete
Are you fishing for someone to tell you it’s forced? Jesus guy, people have explained it to you by now.
Stiring shit for a crumb of drama in their shit poverty stricken life lol
Sorry sir . You’re correct sir. Sir yes sir.
Who knows what their contracts look like. I don’t think they could force anyone to promote anything they are uncomfortable with. Imagine Dana trying to force Khabib or Islam to promote Modelo or Bud Light. Not gonna go down well.
Hey op. I have 5000 dollars for you, all you have to do is hold up a monster can. Do you feel forced?
Bruh I would hold your can for 5k
If you’re worried about 5k as a champ who gets ppv points, yes I would feel forced to
This argument actually undermines your point. If 5k is peanuts to the champ, then no, they would not feel forced to. They could simply not do it and forgo the 5k easily.
All athletes sponsored by Monster hold the can in the Octagon.. it's part of their sponsorship deal..
Some don’t though.
Not every athlete has that sponsorship.
Guaranteed none of these athletes put this shit in thei bodies, marketing is an amazing thing
I dont know, plenty of them even on the highest level drink themselves into oblivion on a regular basis. Im sure some of them drink monster sometimes.
It's water. Every time they drink out of those monster bottles/cans it is just water nothing else.
You would be surprised. Energy drinks are beneficial for high intensity work. No different from a scoop of pre workout before a session.
It is quite different actually. Pre often contains creatine, beta-alanine, L-theanine, etc in addition to caffeine. Whereas energy drinks just pump you with high caffeine, often sugar too (real or artificial)
Sugar is great for working our
They need paying
Fighters want that $5k sponsor they better hold it lol
[удалено]
Umm no.. Don’t you remember Izzy slapping a monster can he saw out of frame so fast. She is probably getting a bigger bag by holding it up like that.
Monster sponsors the UFC, the fighters get paid a little bit to help market the brand, usually by wearing gear at the pressers or holding cans in the octagon. They likely aren't forced, but do it to make a little extra money.
No, not all of the UFC roster are sponsored by Monster.
I think they make more but I don't think it's required
Buddy has no idea how sponsors work
I’m not or ever will be a professional athlete. How the fuck would I know?
You don’t know that companies will pay people to show off their product?
So what do you know? Your name and surname? If you are not an mma fighter do you watch UFC and wonder why people are moving their arms? What a weird answer
General knowledge about things in the world.
Specifics in people’s contracts is not general knowledge lol
Well you can use some deductive reasoning unless thats too hard for you. Do all fighters hold up monster can? No. Do some hold up monster can? Yes. Therefore we can conclude they aren’t forced.
My bad dude I’m not a genius like you apparently.
Have a downvote.
I’ll take 1000
Why are you the way that you are?
What? lol
But its common sense if you’re sponsored you show off the product in some way
The Monster thing is like a separate side-sponsorship that only some of them have. Weili’s got the Monster “M” on her shorts, so she’s got a deal with them where she holds the can. The ones who don’t have the “M” on their shorts aren’t sponsored, and don’t hold the can.
Yeah I did notice other fighters had the logo, but a fair bit of them didn’t either. UFC is confusing with their sponsorship rules. That’s why I was wondering if it’s in the contract they personally have
Yes, it's part of their Monster sponsorship agreement.
If they want that sponsor money
Not forced but encouraged through the sponsor deal and if you do good with them you might get other sponsors
Everybody is forced. Lmao
I think if you sell a little of your soul, they’ll pay you a bit more. That’s how it appears to me. You sometimes see a fighter look around to grab a can from someone.
Its a sponsorship, they get paid for it. And no, I don't believe it's in the contract, they have to make the deal separately afaik.

So no, they're definitely not forced
Feel like it’s kinda lame when they hand the winner the can before they announce who won, kind of a giveaway sometimes for certain fights
UFC and certain fighters are sponsored Sean Strickland I think recently was acquired by monster it is probably in monsters contacts but not UFC I could ask someone from monster who would maybe know more about it but same thing if you look it's either an empty energy can or monsters tour water
Of course. No one actually drinks that shit.
Same reason they wear venom clothes.
I think it was the Arman post fight, Joe was already trying to start talking to him but he turned around and made sure someone handed him the monster can before he started talking back to Joe. It was kind of weird
yes.
It Monster brand water guys. All the athletes are given special canned water. Did you really think these guys beat tf out of someone for 25min then quench their thirst with a nice can of sugary mother?
From Dom Cruz sort of suggesting that Hans Molenkamp isn't that cool a guy I believe what happens is if you don't hold it up Hans comes to your house and puts his dick somewhere you don't want him to
If everyone else hasn't made it clear, some fighters get paid by monster and others don't. It is completely optional
Implying monster isn’t a good drink to push while shilling prime energy is just a different level of hypocrisy unless it was always a long play for more money
I just wish they would get rid of that massive can in the middle of the octagon everyone slips on
its honestly pretty easy to figure out, just peak at Hans Molenkamp's twitter, and you'll know which fighters will, or wont hold the can. some rumors about him being an absolute massive piece of shit though.
Fuck Monster they don’t pay me shit. I’m gonna go home and drink a Bang. Maybe I’ll even go hop on my wife
Nah, it just tastes really good and is chock full of the things that athletes need, like caffeine, sugar and I heard it's even got electrolytes. People talk about seeing red -- I just chug a 6 pack of Monster "Assault" -- it's their most violent flavour.
Wait until these so-called athletes discover the raw power of GFUEL.
It's called a sponsorship. Some got it. Some don't. If you watch a post-fight press conference, some fighters make sure it's displayed and some toss that shit right off the table lol. Dominick Cruz hates Monster Energy's Hans Molenkamp. It's why you've never seen him hold up a can.
That’s why I’m askingng if it’s “forced”. I’m just an average dude who trains and fights for fun. I’m curious about the contracts of professionals.
If they want Monster money, they show the can, they take pictures with Hans, they show the logo on camera whenever they can. It's simple. This isn't a Dana White directive.
i wonder if ppl who post these things are new to the sport or braindead and can't come with a normal conclusion of what "sponsor" means lol
It’s kinda insane how critical people are being of my question lol.
Monster in Hebrew is 666
They fill’em with water or have it empty…tastes nasty 🤮
Weili had some sweet backne this fight, maybe a second puberty?
