Lima didn't immediately realize that Severino had bitten him

Andre Lima talked about the incident that happened during his fight with Severino today. Igor bit Andre, but he did not immediately realize what had happened.

"There was an exchange of punches, he tried to move me into the parterre. I was able to get up and I felt pain. A very sharp pain. I thought I had cut myself on the cage. I screamed, everyone started looking at me. I really thought I'd caught on something. It didn't even occur to me that he'd bitten me. The fight was going well for both of us by that point, we could claim bonuses for Fight of the Night. I didn't immediately realize that he had bitten me. I wanted to ask him later why he did it. I don't think he should be eliminated since he was going undefeated. Apparently he didn't control his emotions. He could have represented Brazil further. I hope he gets a warning," Lima was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
