Bellator 160 salaries: Benson Henderson makes $75K for win over Patricio Pitbull

Benson Henderson was the high man on Bellator's payout list over the weekend.

The former UFC lightweight champion made $75,000 for his Bellator 160 main event victory over Patricio Freire on Friday night in Anaheim, according to a document obtained by MMA Fighting through the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). The figure was a flat rate with no win bonus.

Freire earned the second most on the card at $50,000. Henderson won by second-round TKO when "Pitbull" could not continue due to a broken right leg.

It was Henderson's second fight with Bellator after a loss to Andrey Koreshkov in a welterweight title fight in his debut.
