Igor Severino's first UFC bout was also his last.

Midway through the second round, the fighters were entwined against the cage when Lima suddenly recoiled and referee Chris Tognoni halted the bout.
A doctor from the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed the bite mark on Lima's left arm, and Severino was disqualified.
Shortly afterward, UFC CEO Dana White informed Severino that he had been released.
"Those were two up-and-coming undefeated fighters," White told told martial arts journalist Kevin Iole via text. "If you get frustrated and want out of the fight, there are plenty of ways to do it, but the worst thing u can do is bite your opponent. Now, you get cut and lose the biggest opportunity of your life. Not to mention, he's going to have real problems with the NSAC."
