Brazilian UFC newcomer Igore da Silva Severino only fought a round and a half in the promotion and was fired. At tonight's UFC On ESPN 53 event, Severino clamped his teeth into his opponent Andre Lima, after which the fight was stopped and Igor was disqualified. The organization's CEO Dana White later announced that the fighter was fired.

"If you are frustrated and want to get out of the fight, there are many ways to do it, and the worst one is to bite your opponent. Now you will be fired and lose the biggest opportunity of your life. Not to mention he's going to be in serious trouble with the Nevada Athletic Commission," said the functionary.
