UFC fighter is disqualified for BITING his opponent and leaving teeth marks in his arm… Igor Severino makes history with gruesome attack in loss to Andre Lima

UFC fighter Igor Severino made history on Saturday after being disqualified for biting Andre Lima – and leaving teeth marks in his opponent’s bicep.

The two flyweights clashed at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday night but the fight was cut short after Lima complained to referee Chris Tognoni.

After an even opening round, Severino and Lima became locked in a grapple near the edge of the Octagon.

The two fighters were separated and Lima held up his arm to reveal a gruesome bite mark on his left bicep.

Severino tried to deny he had gnawed his opponent but he nevertheless became the first ever UFC fighter to be disqualified for biting his opponent.
