Immediately after being bitten by Igor Severino, Lima shouted in pain. The Brazilian boxer raised his left arm to show a tooth mark. After reviewing the slow tape, the referee must disqualify Igor Severino.
“We had a struggle with tat tats, he tried to defeat me. I had to turn on the floor but then I stood up. At that time, I shouted because of the pain, a terrible pain that could not be described. I even thought that the fence was stabbed into my hand. I thought it was what happened,” Andrre Lima shared in the press conference room.
Lima recalled the moment of being bitten: “I don't know what is going on but I really think that I bumped into the fence because I couldn't have something he bitten me, especially the match was tense. This match helped me get a lot of things and I could participate in the Best match of the night 'Fight of the Night'. I'”.
Andre Lima still could not believe what happened and he wanted to know the reason behind the bite, because Severino performed very well in the match. That situation scared Lima in a moment, not knowing what happened.
“I want to ask him, 'Brother, why are you biting me?'
Sharing with international media, Mr. Dana White affirmed that he would liquidate the contract with Igor Severino for non -sport behavior. Meanwhile, Andrre Lima received the title of Bite of the Night (the bite of the event) with 25,000 USD. This amount was doubled by Dana White, when Lima decided to tattoo the teeth on the right bite to celebrate the memorable debut day at UFC.
