TL;DR

After Igor Severino was disqualified for biting Andre Lima during their UFC on ESPN 53 fight, the Nevada Athletic Commission withheld Severino's entire purse, following UFC CEO Dana White's announcement that Severino would be released. Severino, who earned his first UFC contract through Contender Series last year, is likely to face a heavy fine and lengthy suspension for his actions when the NAC holds its monthly meeting in April.
