But most notably, the NAC sanctioned a bout between Diego Lopes and Dan Ige hours before it happened at UFC 303. Did the NAC make the right calls?

Igor Severino asks NAC to release purse for living expenses during UFC biting suspension

BAD MMA News — Fri, 31 May 2024 18:38:16 +0000

Igor Severino ’s already-infamous biting incident has yet to get a resolution from the regulatory side, but there’s been an update from the Brazilian. Friday, during a Nevada Athletic Commission meeting, used time for public comment to ask the commission to release his purse that’s being withheld so he can afford to live while the NAC awaits a decision on his punishment. Severino is currently suspended by the NAC following his disqualification from his March 23 fight at UFC on ESPN 53 in Las Vegas. The Brazilian bit his bit opponent, Andre Lima, and was disqualified and quickly released from the UFC. The 21-year-old flyweight says he’s been struggling since, not only publicly as he previously opened up to MMA Junkie , but also financially.

Diego Lopes’ Dana White-approved UFC 300 fence-hopping fine reduced to $2,500

BAD MMA News — Fri, 31 May 2024 17:24:52 +0000

The Nevada Athletic Commission is going to have to cut Diego Lopes a check after Friday’s hearing … sort of. Lopes was fined $5,000 when he hopped over the fence after his UFC 300 finish of Sodiq Yusuff in April. Friday, the NAC cut that suspension in half in an adjudication with Lopes. Officially, his fine will be $2,500 plus legal fees of $157.04. Because the commission already withheld $5,000 from Lopes, which was 5 percent of his $100,000 purse, he’s due the difference. At a prior hearing, NAC executive director Jeff Mullen said UFC CEO Dana White said he’d pay Lopes’ fine.

NAC pushes back on proposed Igor Severino punishment for UFC bite, cites ‘unbelievably dangerous’ precedent

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 19:16:07 +0000

All signs have pointed toward punishment for Igor Severino since biting his opponent during his UFC debut, but the terms remain up in the air. The Nevada Athletic Commission voted against an adjudication agreement proposed and presented by the Nevada Attorney General’s Office during a monthly commission meeting Tuesday in Las Vegas. Deputy attorney general Matthew Feeley revealed a settlement agreement had been reached between his office and Severino’s team for him to serve a six-month suspension retroactive to the March 23 foul and pay $3,314.08, equivalent to 30 percent of his $10,000 show money with legal fees. “There is very little precedent when it comes to people biting each other in the ring,” Feeley said
