In a heated encounter, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland confronted entrepreneur Derek Moneyberg about his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt promotion and alleged financial misconduct.
Strickland wasted no time calling out Moneyberg in front of the camera, criticizing him for wanting to have private conversations off-record while allegedly profiting from shady dealings:
You can only do things for the internet. You can’t have a private conversation like an adult. Because what I have to say is factual.
The UFC veteran insisted he would not endorse Moneyberg’s ventures despite the potential financial gain:
Would I love to take free money from this guy? Absolutely.
But this man takes advantage of low-paid UFC fighters who are just trying to make their mortgage and live a life. And he uses their platforms to peddle financial scams.
Strickland accused Moneyberg of building his brand on dishonesty, highlighting lawsuits and questionable business practices:
You are a fraud. You are dishonest. You fraud people.
This is why you don’t want to be on camera — because you know everything I say is true.
Strickland closed the confrontation with a clear rejection of any future association with Moneyberg:
You are a scumbag, and a fraudster.
You won’t use my platform or my name to peddle your sh*t to my followers.Ain’t happening, dude. Go scam somebody else.
