Hendo went on to insist that 99.9 percent of those in the industry have known what’s going on behind the scenes prior to Cruz’s post-fight speech. Having built his lifestyle on that income provided, he was stuck in a position that left him feeling like a hostage. Hired to work for Monster originally, Hendo shared that it became him working for Molenkamp more as a personal videographer. For a photographer, making the amount of money I was making was unheard of.” And at the time, I was making a lot of money with Monster. I had to cater to all his side businesses, I had to do everything he told me to do. “But if they don’t do that, then what will happen is they’ll lose their contract. They’re forced to do all the antics, have the Monster can be kicked out of their hand, and do all this stupid stuff, these crazy funny videos. But behind the scenes, these guys are forced to interact with him. He’s the fun guy, he’s around all these elite fighters. “What he does is – if you look online at his social media page, or Instagram page, it seems like he’s the cool guy. “He has supporters, but you’ve got to understand the way he markets himself,” Hendo said. Noting the importance of sponsorships, an area Molenkamp is largely in control of, Hendo made it a point to say they give a solid baseline of money for fighters – which is why Molenkamp’s involvement is worth speaking out about. Hendo originally began working in MMA around Cruz’s team, Alliance MMA, when he met Hans Molenkamp who liked his work enough that he was brought on board to shoot for Monster. The video titled “The Untold Truth: Exposing Hans Molenkamp” was 17 minutes long and heard Hendo label Molenkamp as an entrepreneur as well as a subcontractor for Monster – not actually making him an employee despite his role as “Director of Combat Sports.” Saturday, San Diego-based MMA photographer Courtney Henderson (often referred to as Courtney Hendo) uploaded a video to his YouTube channel sharing his experience with Molenkamp. “So Dominick Cruz, thank you for that.”Įxactly a week after Cruz’s victory and light shedding onto Molenkamp, another voice has spoken out. “When he said that, I think a lot of people in the Mixed Martial Arts community that have had to deal with this guy’s BS cheered and celebrated,” Bisping said on the Believe You Me podcast. Throughout the week, a few notable names such as Michael Bisping and Cruz’s teammate, Angela Hill, have shown their support for Cruz’s words.
