UFC fighter Igor Severino made history on Saturday after being disqualified for biting Andre Lima - and leaving teeth marks in his opponent's bicep.

The two flyweights clashed at UFC Vegas 89 on Saturday night but the fight was cut short after Lima complained to referee Chris Tognoni.

After an even opening round, Severino and Lima became locked in a grapple near the edge of the Octagon. Lima began yelling and signaling to the official.  

The two fighters were separated and Lima held up his arm to reveal a gruesome bite mark on his left bicep. After consulting the judges, Tognoni halted the fight.

Afterwards, Lima's manager claimed that UFC president Dana White had promised to award the Brazilian the first ever 'I Got F***ing Bit Bonus'.
