Saturday night’s Strikeforce: Feijao vs Henderson fight card was all about Dan Henderson. Not only did the 40-year-old Henderson become the oldest current MMA champion, sending Rafael Feijao into La-La Land and snatching his light heavyweight belt, he also took home a cool $250,000 for his efforts. Strikeforce ended up paying out $438,000 to 20 fighters on the card, so Hendo’s quarter million payday is quite the haul.
