The bout between Flyweight and Andre Lima at Las Vegas was declared void. Dana White assures Lima that she will receive a $50,000 bonus after the event.
In his UFC debut on Saturday, flyweight Igor Severino was disqualified for biting opponent Andre Lima during their Fight Night match in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lima yelled and motioned for the referee to stop the fight during the second round of the battle between the two Brazilians. Officials watched the video after the 25-year-old held out his left arm to reveal the bite mark, and they decided to disqualify Severino.
Severino would be let go from the UFC, UFC president Dana White subsequently announced to the combat sports website keviniole.com].
After the battle, Lima told reporters through a translator, “We were fighting well, and then at some point, for some reason, he decided to bite me.” “I fell, and as I was rising, I cried out in excruciating pain. At first, I assumed it was the fence. Given how the struggle was going, I reasoned that “there was no way he would have bit me.
Later on Saturday, Lima shared a photo of himself on Instagram featuring a fresh bite mark tattoo. White shared the photo and promised a bonus of $50,000.
