Igor Severino made his much-anticipated debut in the Octagon at UFC Vegas 89 over the weekend, but unfortunately, his inaugural appearance was marred by an unexpected turn of events. In a disappointing turn, Severino’s promotional debut ended in disqualification following a loss to Andre Lima due to an unprecedented reason: biting.

The bout, which garnered considerable attention from MMA fans, took an unexpected and controversial turn when Severino resorted to biting his opponent during the match.

This uncharacteristic move shocked spectators and officials alike, resulting in immediate intervention from the referee and ultimately leading to Severino’s disqualification.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of sportsmanship and fair play within the realm of mixed martial arts. While UFC bouts are often characterized by intense competition and fierce rivalries, actions such as biting are universally condemned and have no place in the sport.
