Target of the first bite in the history of the UFC, André Lima, the 'Mascot', forgave Igor Severino for the episode he experienced last Saturday (23). On your channel YouTube, the flyweight (up to 56,7kg.) regretted the immediate dismissal of his compatriot, who, in addition to being an Ultimate representative, suffered his first defeat as a professional in MMA.
“Unfortunately, my opponent was fired. I confess I was upset. I believe that, at the time of the fight, there was emotion in him and he ended up taking the bite. I don't know if it was intentional. Everyone knows how hard we worked to get to the UFC and, the only opportunity he had in life, he managed to ruin. I hope he turns things around and has great success in his career,” said Mascote.
