Payout Perspective:
Notably, Henderson made just $50,000 in a losing effort. Roy Nelson made $30,000 to show and another $30,000 to win. Nelson’s last official reported payout was in July 2016 when he lost a decision to Derrick Lewis. Nelson made $100,000 that night. Similarly, Henderson’s pay has dropped as well since being the UFC lightweight champ. Also, Lorenz Larkin’s second fight in Bellator gave him $40,000. His last fight at UFC 202 gave Larkin $39,000 to show and another $39,000 to win
