New details have surfaced in Hans Molenkamp’s controversy when a former employee shared details of Monster Energy’s questionable handling of action for his staff and fighters.
Courtney Hendo, a photographer and former Monster employee, uploaded an open video to his YouTube channel to talk about what happened and the hardships caused by Hans Molenkamp behind allegations made by UFC fighter Dominick Cruz. Hendo explained what happened that led to his retirement at Monster Energy and appeared Hans Molenkamp for closing all doors of opportunity by using his power, resulting in Hendo losing his home.
“It would treat you like you’re nothing … The last straw for me was that I was at my nephew’s football match and Hans named me and it went ok, I have to to be in LA today … ‘I told him I can’t. He told me, ‘when I ask you to do something, you will do it. ‘I was like you know what Hans is,’ you have to find someone you can talk to like that. That was my straw. I will stop. And when I released Monster, he told the other cheaters, gyms, and gym owners, ‘if you do business with Courtney, you’ll lose your contract,’ “said Courtney Hendo.
“So in the end, I can’t work with MMA anymore, I was blackmailed. In the end I went homeless. That’s the truth. I couldn’t make money in the sport. But I was blessed to save enough money on the side so I opened my studio.It took me two years to put this thing on so I had to sleep on the floor until I got this studio up … I’m just trying to show you what power that is and what it does to all of those cheaters, “said Courtney Hendo.
Courtney Hendo ‘s video questions Dana White’ s views on Hans Molenkamp
Courtney Hendo came out and spoke after Dominick Cruz called out Hans Molenkamp in a post-fight interview after winning over Casey Kenney at UFC 259. Cruz accused Molenkamp of representing his relationship with UFC fighters to promote his own image on social media. Cruz’s allegations were backed by fellow soldiers Angela Hill, Cub Swanson, Michael Bisping and MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz.
However, UFC president Dana White dismissed the allegations raised by Dominick Cruz and maintained his stance on how Monster Energy fairly handled fighters.
“Is Hans a goofy dude? Yes, he is. But they (Monster Energy) are fans … This is a sponsorship deal … There is no sure money from the fans, it is a honor … They have been good to us … to the sport and they have certainly been good to the cheaters I get it (Cruz) does not like it (Molenkamp), some have a problem guys with it and it ‘s easy to make that one out of it, but Monster is a company and they’ s been solid. They couldn’t be any better, “said Dana White.
In his announcement, Courtney Hendo pointed out that the monetary value brought in by Monster Energy and Hans Molenkamp is too high even for the hikes to highlight the issues facing their fighters though their full knowledge of the situation. Hendo ‘s revelations certainly show that Dana White killed Dominick Cruz in a suspicious light.
“Everyone in the industry knows. Everyone knows what Hans Molenkamp is doing. They know he has those fights as hostility. But Monster is pumping millions of dollars. So they control the whole market. It’s under the control of one person, the monster energy director for combat sports, Hans Molenkamp, ”said Courtney Hendo.
