LAS VEGAS – A first in UFC history took place Saturday at UFC on ESPN 53 when Igor Severino was disqualified for biting Andre Lima . In the matchup of debuting undefeated flyweights at the UFC Apex, Severino (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) pulled the ultimate move of desperation while attempting to take down Lima (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC). Severino bit the inside of the left bicep of his fellow Brazilian, causing Lima to yell in pain and inform referee Chris Tognoni. The action was halted, and after reviewing the tape and seeing a deep, visible bite mark on the arm, Severino was disqualified at the 2:52 mark of Round 2.
