UFC CEO Dana White will reportedly not condone Igor Severino’s actions in his promotional debut. Severino (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who faced fellow debuting undefeated flyweight Andre Lima, was disqualified in the second round for biting. Lima (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was defending in the clinch, and during the sequence against the fence, Severino bit his left arm. Lima motioned to the referee that he was bit by his opponent, resulting in a pause in the fight and subsequent disqualification after the video review. After the fight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, White messaged Kevin Iole , stating that Severino’s UFC run began and ended Saturday.
