CNN —UFC fighter Igor Severino was disqualified from his fight on Saturday night after biting his opponent, Andre Lima. In the second round of their flyweight bout in Las Vegas, Lima was being held from behind by Severino before the 20-year-old appeared to lean in and bite Lima on his left arm. Lima let out an audible shout before referee Chris Tognoni stopped the fight and announced that Severino had been disqualified from the fight, awarding the win to Lima. Lima posed for photos after his victory, with a bite mark visible on his left arm. It was an unconventional way for Lima to earn his first UFC victory as he was making his debut in the competition on Saturday.
