Ben Henderson offered $200k contract -- but not with UFC

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Ben Henderson recently satisfied the final fight on his ZUFFA contract, a split-decision win over Jorge Masvidal at the UFC Fight Night 79 mixed martial arts (MMA) event last weekend in Seoul, South Korea.

In doing so, "Smooth" opened the door for competing organizations to get into the Bendo business, and it didn't take long for one combat sports promotion -- no stranger to South Korea -- to offer him 200,000 reasons to jump ship and fight overseas.

"Benson Henderson put on an amazing performance in Seoul," ROAD FC General Manager Mark Lee told MMAjunkie.
