![]() ![]() There’s been multiple, two or three, investigations, just like what’s going on now. “This is not the first investigation, just to let you know. Hans treats me really good.’ Watch, I’m trying to tell you guys, watch, you’re going to see a lot of people be like, ‘Oh yeah, Hans is a good guy. All these allegations came out with Dominick Cruz and everything like that, now I can guarantee you what’s going to happen is, he’s going to contact everybody that’s on the Monster roster, or whoever’s in connection with him, and he’s gonna force them to be like, ‘Okay, yeah Hans does this, Hans is a good guy. “But, like I said before, he holds-these people are making so much money, and they need this money, they can’t speak out,” Henderson said, after explaining that he believes the entire MMA industry knows of Molenkamp’s behavior already. The big difference now seems to be that instead of airing his grievances privately, with the company, Dominick Cruz decided to make them public. With news that Monster Energy is now looking into the situation, Henderson also claimed that this isn’t the first time Monster has investigated Molenkamp’s behavior. So, he dictates what’s going on in that industry, by the money.” Essentially, these checks are so powerful, that money is so powerful, he has control over everybody. He’s managing that sector, so he has control of a whole industry, plus the fighters. A whole market is controlled by one person, the director of Monster Energy for combat sports, Hans Molenkamp. And like I said, not just the UFC and Bellator, you got Glory. I can’t disclose how much money it is, but let me tell you, it’s a lot of money. “They’re giving the UFC millions, they’re giving Bellator millions. “The situation is Monster is pumping millions and millions and millions of dollars into these organizations,” Henderson revealed. “A whole market is controlled by one person, the director of Monster Energy for combat sports, Hans Molenkamp.” A move he said resulted in Molenkamp effectively blackballing him from the MMA industry telling fighters and gyms that if they worked with Henderson they would lose their contracts with Monster Energy. Like I said, if they don’t do it then they’ll lose their contract.”Įventually, Henderson said he had enough of Molenkamp’s constant demands and quit the job. He’s not really doing it for Monster, he’s doing it to boost his clout to his Instagram followers, to market himself. But for me, like I said, I witnessed it all the time. And then he’ll go do mitts with a high ranking UFC fighter and act like he’s beating them up or something, or whatever it is. So he’ll act like he put water all over, and then act like he’s sweating. “I’m talking about, like, he would douse himself with water before he’d do mitts with fighters for his social media content-like he made a video for social media. All this-bro, everything you see is all a facade. It could be a BJJ – somebody who’s the best in the world at what they do – and he’s forcing you to act like he’s tapping you out, act like he has a black belt. Every fighter that you see under their roster, they’re forced to spar with him, act like he’s beating them up, do mitts. So what he’s doing is, he’s forcing these fighters to do antics. “He’s not really doing it for Monster, he’s doing it to boost his clout to his Instagram followers, to market himself.” A post that eventually resulted in him mostly following Molenkamp around to create content for his personal social media brand. That meeting led to what he described as a very well paying opportunity to work as an official photographer for Monster Energy. Photographer Courtney ‘Hendo’ Henderson recently dropped a lengthy interview on his personal YouTube page, titled ‘ The Untold Truth: Exposing Hans Molenkamp.’ In it, Henderson explained how he first met Molenkamp, while honing his craft, taking pictures over at Alliance MMA. And it seems that his time working with Monster under Molenkamp’s direction closely mirrors the experiences of the fighters coming forward. If that kind of petty strong-arming seems too absurd to be believed of a major sponsorship brand associated not just with MMA, but multiple sports across the US, a man claiming to be a former contractor who says he worked closely with Molenkamp for years has decided to share his own experiences. Fellow former champ Michael Bisping backed up Cruz’s allegations, suggesting that his own deal with Monster Energy was promptly killed after he told Molenkamp they weren’t “friends.” Cruz later explained his actions, accusing Molenkamp of threatening to kill fighters’ sponsorship deals with the energy drink if they didn’t engage with his personal social media pages, including posing for photos and posting comments on his Instagram posts. ![]()
