Like Mike Tyson who bit and then tore off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear among heavyweights, or like Luis Suarez who planted his incisors in the upper left arm of Italian Giorgio Chiellini, MMA has its own biter .
This is the Brazilian Igor Severino.
The latter bit the arm of his compatriot Andre Lima in Las Vegas during UFC Night on Saturday as the two men clashed in the octagon.
This bad gesture immediately pushed the referee to an exemplary sanction: disqualification.
Beaten for the first time in his career, the South American allowed Andre Lima to win and collect a nice victory bonus since the big boss of the UFC, Dana White, granted him a bonus of 50,000 dollars for this misadventure .
“
If you're frustrated and want to end the fight, there are plenty of ways to do it, but the worst is to bite your opponent.
Now you are fired and you have lost the biggest chance of your life
,” White also told Igo Severino, banned from the most prestigious league.
Andre Lima has recovered well from this toothache.
He even wanted to immortalize it on his body by getting a tattoo on the lower part of the bicep of his left arm.
