Dan Henderson completed the final bout his current Ultimate Fighting Championship contract at UFC 199, and “Hendo” earned an event-high purse in the process.
The 45-year-old middleweight -- who notched a crushing, second-round knockout of Hector Lombard at Saturday’s show in Inglewood, California -- took home a “show” salary of $600,000 and a “win” bonus of $200,000 for a total $800,000 purse. Lombard earned $53,000 in defeat.
MMAJunkie.com on Monday published payroll information from the event released by the California State Athletic Commission.
Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz was the card’s next highest earner, pocketing a total of $350,000 for his successful title defense against Urijah Faber ($160,000) in the night’s co-main event.
