While Severino was slammed by the worldwide MMA group for the chunk that ended his UFC tenure, the 21-year-old was extraordinarily apologetic in his response, stating that “It’s not who I’m as an individual” to MMA Junkie.
“To see all of this go away and in the way in which it did, it’s one thing that’s not a part of me. It’s not who I’m as an individual. That’s not who I’m as a fighter. I simply really feel very regretful. It makes me very emotional and unhappy about it.
“My dream grew to become a nightmare in a single day. I’m very regretful to my opponent. I apologize to [Lima], to Dana [White], to the Nevada Athletic Fee, to Sean Shelby, who spoke to me after the combat, to Mick [Maynard] – everybody within the group – and the followers. Sorry to everybody who was watching that on TV. They didn’t need to see that.”
