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.

The longtime president of the UFC announced a new striking competition called Power Slap during a press conference on Friday. Alongside the new series, which is set to launch in early 2023, White announced a deal with TBS for an eight-part television series. Friday’s press release states competitors will vie to earn a place in “the cast house” and Power Slap rankings. “The sport of slap fighting is about to go to a whole new level,” White said at the Power Slap press conference at Radio City Music Hall. Like boxing and MMA, Power Slap judging is based on a “10-point must system,” with a round winner scoring 10 points and the opponent scoring 9 or fewer.
