In a press conference held after the event, the boss condemned the newcomer's attitude and confirmed the fighter's dismissal.
“If you are frustrated and want to get out of a fight, there are several ways to do that. However, the worst thing you can do is bite your opponent. Now, you will be cut from the UFC and have lost the biggest opportunity of your life. Plus, he's going to have a lot of trouble with the 'Nevada Athletic Commission,'” White said.

The action determined the end of the confrontation. The Tupiniquim was defeated by disqualification and, moments later, his dismissal was confirmed.
