9/18/2023 0 Comments Dominick cruz and monster![]() ![]() 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.” Who knows what’s what here, but it sure is a trip flipping through Molenkamp’s Instagram with Cruz’s accusations in mind.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. “So if you don’t like the way they do business, don’t do business with them,” he concluded. It’s a privilege to get money from a sponsor. These guys can spend their money and run their company however they want to and nobody’s guaranteed money from a sponsor. “This isn’t like a work situation where you’re working for somebody and you’re not happy about the way you’re being treated,” he continued. ![]() They can sponsor whoever they want, they can run their business however they want. Monster is one of these companies that really, really takes care of people and it’s their company. These guys are a sponsor, they’re great sponsors, they pay these guys a lot of money. “Is Hans a goofy dude? Yeah, he’s a very goofy dude,” White said. Well, about as political as he’s going to get. Dana's opinion on the guy! /wCjgQZmtk7- Tom March 7, 2021Īfter UFC 259, White took a more “political” stance on the subject. ![]()
