Alright, folks, let’s talk about Igor Severino’s UFC debut because, boy, was it a doozy. You know, we’ve seen some crazy stuff go down in the octagon, but this one takes the cake. Picture this: Severino steps into the cage all pumped up, ready to make a splash in the big leagues. But instead of throwing punches, he decides to take a chomp out of his opponent, Andre Lima. Yep, you heard that right. He bit the guy.

Now, I don’t know what was going through Severino’s head at that moment, but biting someone in a professional fight? That’s a new one, even for the wildest of fighters. The ref had to step in, of course, and rightfully disqualified Severino on the spot. And you can bet your bottom dollar the UFC didn’t waste any time showing him the door after that stunt.
The fallout from this bizarre incident has been wild, to say the least. People are buzzing about it all over social media, and the memes are already flooding in. But let’s not forget the serious side of things. Biting your opponent is not only unsportsmanlike, it’s downright dangerous. It’s a good thing Lima didn’t lose an ear or something.
As for Severino, well, he’s probably regretting his decision big time. Not only did he blow his shot at making a name for himself in the UFC, but now he’s known as the guy who tried to take a bite out of his opponent. Talk about a career move gone wrong.
But hey, let’s take this as a lesson, folks. In the crazy world of MMA, anything can happen. And while we love a good show, let’s try to keep it clean, okay? Leave the biting to the sharks.
Lima ended up with a gnarly bite mark on his arm? Well, hold onto your seats ’cause Lima just covered that bad boy up with a badass tattoo.
That’s right, instead of letting that bite mark become his new accessory, Lima decided to take matters into his own hands – literally – and inked over it with something bold
Wow. André Lima gets a tattoo over the bite mark he got at #UFCVegas89
