Ronda Rousey might have been the star of the show, but four veterans on the UFC 157 card out-earned her (at least in terms of released fighter purse info). Dan Henderson, the oldest man on the card came out with the biggest payday. In fact, Henderson and Lyoto Machida are now among the ten highest paid fighters this year.
