UFC fighter Igor Severino suspended nine months, fined after biting opponent during fight: report

Igor Severino, the Brazilian mixed martial artist who was disqualified from a UFC fight in March after he bit into his opponent's arm, was suspended for nine months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission this week. 

Severino’s UFC debut was cut short when his fight against Andre Lima was called off early in the second round after he appeared to bite the inside of Lima’s arm. 

He was disqualified without warning, and UFC president Dana White later confirmed that Severino had been released from the league because of the incident.
