In a shocking turn of events at UFC, Igor Severino’s debut in the octagon quickly turned into a nightmare as he was disqualified for biting opponent Andre Lima during their fight in Las Vegas. The incident occurred in the second round while the fighters were in a clinch against the cage, prompting the referee to intervene and ultimately disqualify Severino. Despite Severino’s actions, Lima emerged victorious, but it was his unique celebration that captured headlines – he commemorated his win by getting a tattoo of the teeth marks left by Severino’s bite.
Severino’s UFC journey started and ended in the same night, as his disqualification led to his release from the promotion by UFC CEO Dana White. White expressed disappointment in Severino’s conduct, emphasizing the magnitude of the missed opportunity and the potential repercussions with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
On the other hand, Lima’s celebration took an unexpected turn when White decided to double his fight bonus to an impressive $50,000, recognizing the significance of his victory despite the bizarre circumstances.
