Andre Lima 'felt the pain,' but UFC CEO Dana White is rewarding him for the unfortunate incident of getting bitten during his fight in Las Vegas Saturday night.
Pain pays in UFC, but Andre Lima's wild fight against Igor Severino earned him a 'bite bonus' from Dana White. Yes, the bonus is exactly what you think it is: Lima was bitten by Severino, who was making his UFC debut in Las Vegas on Saturday night. A doctor from the Nevada State Athletic Commission examined the inside of Lima’s biceps, where it was determined that Severino had bitten him. The bite mark was so clear that it was caught on camera.
'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.' Lima spoke about the bite incident after the fight. 'We were exchanging really well at that point, then he tried to take me down,' Lima told reporters, via MMA Junkie.
