'Chute Boxe – João Emílio' released a message of support for Igor Severino, protagonist of the bite that resulted in pupil's dismissal on his debut at UFC Las Vegas 89. On the team's official profile, Instagram, the team supported the 20-year-old fighter. O episode happened in the second round of the fight against André Mascote and, before the incident, the confrontation between Brazilians was marked by aggressiveness between the flyweight representatives (up to 56,7kg.).
“A team is a team until the end. We are with you, today and always. Was it an oversight, a mistake? He was. But it doesn't take away from you what you've done and will do. It was an adrenaline rush that I didn't know how to manage. You are young and have all the time in the world ahead of you. The same people who exalted you yesterday ridicule you today. Don't listen. You know it's much more than that. Your team will always be with you. Empathy is not about the other. It's putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Think carefully before judging”, they wrote.
