VIDEO: Bizarre in UFC. The Brazilian bit his compatriot in the fight, was disqualified and fired. The opponent got a bonus, he got his teeth impressions tattooed right away
The UFC offered an unnumbered tournament last night, with the organization’s stars once again taking the stage at the Apex in Las Vegas. The main event offered a battle of female aces Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas, but more talk of the debut of two debutants. The latter, in fact, offered a bizarreness never before seen in the organization.
The UFC offered an unnumbered tournament last night, with the organization’s stars once again taking the stage at the Apex in Las Vegas. The main event offered a battle of female aces Rose Namajunas and Amanda Ribas, but more talk of the debut of two debutants. The latter, in fact, offered a bizarreness never before seen in the organization.
Rose Namajunas defeated Amanda Ribas on points, showing that even at flyweight she has only the highest ambitions. The former strawweight division champion made up for her defeat and asked for a move up the rankings.
More than her win, however, the fight between the two Brazilian debutants offered a completely unprecedented situation. Twenty-year-old Igor Severino (8-0) and twenty-five-year-old Andre Lima (7-0) made their first-ever UFC debuts.
Both Brazilians came into the organization via Dana White’s Contender Series and the biggest organization on the planet seemed to have some interesting prospects in them. After all, their collection of finishes is impressive. It was expected that they would one day be written about.
But that it would be after the premiere and because of this? Nobody expected that. Severino did something stupid. He bit his opponent in the second round and the fight was stopped and then stopped. Biting is, of course, a foul and Lima won after his younger compatriot was disqualified.
But that was not the end of the situation. On the contrary, it was just the beginning of the great madness that was about to unfold. As the bite quickly went viral, the UFC responded brilliantly and so did the bitten Lima.
The UFC reacted well to the bizarro, and so did the bitten Lima
A dog that barks doesn’t bite? Well, it’s safe to say that, at least for now, Igor Severino has not only barked, but also bitten in the UFC, as according to several overseas media outlets, the organization’s boss Dana White himself revealed that the young fighter has been fired.
Subsequently, photos of Andre Lima’s arm, where the teeth of the opponent are imprinted, began to appear on social networks. The latter, by the way, received a bonus from the organization for biting the evening. No one else can brag about that. I’m sure he’s happy about the money. And he’s decided to use it in an interesting way.
Right after the match, Lima went to a tattoo parlor and got his opponent’s teeth tattooed, saying he got a bonus for being bitten. Well, we probably won’t see anything like that again.
“If you’re frustrated and want out of the fight, there are a couple of ways to do that. But the worst thing you can do is bite your opponent. Itcould cost you the biggest opportunity of your life right now,” Dana White was heard responding to the bite.
