The Ultimate Fighting Championship, valued over $7 Billion, is one of the largest sports organizations in the world today. Conor McGregor, Rorian Gracie, Georges St. Pierre and wrestling legend, Brock Lesner are currently some of the most eminent and successful MMA fighters.

However, like any other sport, the career span of an athlete is either restricted due to age-factor, injuries, or sometimes even both. Since career comes to a standstill, athletes find it difficult to make a living. This is where Jiu Jitsu fighter and MMA enthusiast Hans Molenkamp steps in.

If you visit Hans Molenkamp’s Instagram account, you will be surprised by his training routines. Thousands of followers get motivated on a day-to-day basis and cite Hans as a major influence on their lives. You will also see him pose with some of the biggest names in MMA such as T.J. Dillashaw, Jorge Masvidal, Conor McGregor and many more. Molenkamp has had a number of titles to his name – a Jiu Jitsu expert, business owner, marketing expert, sports consultant and photographer.

Hans began his training of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at a very young age. What started as a fitness routine turned into a passion and eventually, a way of life. He has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has also fought at several Muay Thai events. Besides being a fighter, Hans is also responsible for a couple of profitable business ventures.

He is the founder and CEO of Triumph United which is known for producing sports apparel and equipment, mostly for Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai and more. The company was formed in 2007 and is one of the leaders in the industry today. He adds, “Forming your own business requires a lot of homework. Before you call yourself an entrepreneur, you need to know the smallest and biggest things like getting the best rates for shipping or even getting a company logo created.”

Triumph United gained massive popularity when Rampage Jackson wore its shorts during his fight against Chuck Liddell. Jackson won that match which not only made him the talk of the town but also put Triumph United under the spotlight. The demand for its products increased and to date, it remains one of the most reputed brands in the business. Triumph United is also responsible for introducing many MMA fighters such as Kimbo Slice, Travis Browne, and Clay Guida among others.

As a sports consultant, Hans has helped shape the careers of many MMA fighters such as Conor McGregor and Rampage Jackson among others. He provides consultation to fighters of various styles, inside and outside the ring. Photography is another passion that Hans has practised for over 15 years.

Hans seems to have a never-stop spirit as he keeps expanding his businesses and role in the MMA industry. This billion-dollar industry has made its way across seven continents and is growing consistently year by year.
