The NAC withheld Severino’s entire purse after he was disqualified for biting Lima in the second round of their bout this past Satuday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Junkie on Monday following an initial report from MMA Fighting . The person requested anonymity. It’s unknown how much money Severino was scheduled to make for the fight as the NAC does not disclose fighter purses.
