According to MMAFighting, Severino’s purse was withheld by the Nevada Athletic Commission after he was disqualified for biting Andre Lima in the second round.

The exact amount of Severino’s purse is unknown because the NAC does not publicly disclose salaries.

He was released from the UFC following the bout.

Also, Severino faces a potential suspension and fine at next month’s NAC meeting. It’s uncertain what the punishment might be, but as of right now, his purse has been withheld and he faces further discipline.

Costa recently stole Merab's food at the UFC P.I.

Now, Merab has gotten his revenge and stolen some food from Borrachina.

Brandon has announced his decision to take a temporary break from his MMA career, emphasizing that this leave does not mean retirement. Moreno, who has a record of 21-8-2 in MMA and 9-5-2 in the UFC, promised that he will eventually make a comeback to the octagon.

Moreno made the announcement in a detailed video posted to his Instagram
account on Monday.

In a recent interview, Poirier responded to the lightweight champion mentioning him as a possibility for his next title defense, saying that it’s the only fight he’s interested in right now.

Poirier added:

"I’ve done more in the sport of mixed martial arts than he has. I’ve been around a long time. I was doing this before it was cool, and I’m still here — still here doing it at the highest level. I can beat anybody in the world, and I hope he’s next.”

Now Islam fired back tweeting:

Barber picked up one of the biggest wins of her career when she beat the former flyweight title challenger but following the event, she dealt with plenty of adversity.

Maycee revealed on Instagram that she was dealing with an infection that kept her in the hospital for nine days, and during that time, she wasn’t sure if she was going to be okay.

Maycee captioned the video:

Well, the past few weeks were quite the ride and included lots of highs and lots of lows.

Following my fight, I spent 9 days in the hospital being tested and treated for an infection that they thought were a mix of different things from Strep A to Staph. Being in the hospital and still not having a true definitive answer while battling a 105 degree fever for days, having extremely low blood pressure, HR, and oxygen, was incredibly hard. Despite having multiple IV antibiotics and medications over the course of several days, they were unable to get my fever to drop, which eventually led to me developing Pneumonia. It definitely wasn’t what I had planned and was honestly very scary at times. There were a few moments where I wasn’t sure if I was going to be okay, but I know that whatever happens was meant to happen and that it’s all just another piece of the puzzle of life. 🧩 Grateful for everyone who has been by my side through it all. Little scares like this make you really step back and appreciate those around you! God is good and I am blessed! 🤍

On his BYM podcast, Bisping addressed the unusual conclusion of the fight and criticized Severino for biting his opponent, condemning his actions as 'disgusting'.
