UFC Vegas 88 post-fight show: Reaction to Rose Namajunas’ win and first biting disqualification in U

Rose Namajunas got back in the winning column on Saturday, taking a competitive unanimous decision win over Amanda Ribas in the main event of UFC Vegas 89. But while the main event had the most stakes on the card, it was a preliminary bout that stole the show when Igor Severino became the first fighter in UFC history to be disqualified for biting; he chomped on Andre Lima’s arm in just the second fight of the evening.Show more
