UFC CEO Dana White was not pleased with what he saw on Saturday.

At UFC on ESPN 58, Igor Severino was disqualified for biting his opponent Andre Lima during their fight.

After the fight, White texted veteran MMA reporter Kevin Iole and revealed that he cut Severino.

“Those were two up-and-coming, undefeated fighters,” White said. “If you get frustrated and want out of the fight, there are plenty of ways to do it, but the worst thing you 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”

White then gave Lima a $50k bonus for his troubles, and the fighter decided to get a tattoo with his new bite scar.
