Dan Henderson, retire?! Not if he keeps knocking suckas out and getting paid the most, as he did at last Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Boetsch vs Henderson.
Before we go any further, we should note that the Louisiana Athletic Commission doesn’t release fighter pay info, so none of the following salary data for the event is official. However, you can get a fairly accurate picture of a fighter’s pay based on official purse info released from past fights. So, based on that info, here is the estimated pay breakdown for the 22 fighters that traded blows at the event (but please remember – this is only an estimate, not official info, especially for any fighters that made their UFC debuts at the event).
Attendance: 6,231
Gate: $621,523
