Newly-crowned Strikeforce light heavyweight champion
Dan Henderson earned $250,000 for his Strikeforce fight this past Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, according to salaries reported to the athletic commission.
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante, whom Henderson defeated to win the title, earned $28,000 and would have earned another $28,000 if he had emerged victorious. Henderson was not listed with a win bonus.
The reported salaries for all fighters can be found after the jump.

Although Strikeforce women's 135-pound champion
Marloes Coenen was listed on the commission's records as earning $10,000 with no win bonus, she most likely made more than that. Salaries on record for foreign fighters have been known to be distorted (
Melvin Manhoef of Amsterdam, Holland was also listed with no win bonus).
Liz Carmouche, the late replacement challenger to Coenen, would have earned a $5,000 bonus.
Billy Evangelista was the only one the card listed with two potential bonuses, a $15,000 bonus for winning and a $5,000 bonus for a knockout. However, he failed to capitalize on either as he lost to
Jorge Masvidal via unanimous decision on the opening fight of the Showtime card.
