Dana White's Contender Series
Severino completed at DWCS season 7: Week 7 on September 19, 2023, against Jhonata Silva. He won the fight via technical knockout in round two and he was awarded a UFC contract.[4]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
In his UFC debut, Severino faced André Lima on March 23, 2024, at UFC on ESPN 53.[5] He lost the fight via disqualification after attempting to bite a chunk out of his opponent, with Lima left showing off a deep bite mark on his arm following the bout.[6]
After his fight was disqualified for biting opponent, Severino was subsequently released from his contract with the promotion.[7] On June 25, 2024, Severino then received a nine-month suspension and was fined $2,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) and was eligible to return on December 23, 2024.[8]

In his promotional debut, Severino made his return against Jonas Mågård on December 29, 2024, at Oktagon 65.[10] He won the fight via split decision.[11]
Severino was scheduled to face Jack Cartwright for the vacant Oktagon Bantamweight Championship on April 26, 2025, at Oktagon 70.[12] However on April 12, the promotion announced that Cartwright had suffered an injury.[13] The bout was then re-scheduled to take place on August 9, 2025, at Oktagon 74.[14] In turn, Cartwright withdrew once again due to injury and was replaced by Elvis Batista da Silva.[15] Subsequently, the bout was cancelled once again due to an injury, although it isn’t clear which fighter couldn’t compete at this time.[16]
Severino was scheduled to face Khurshed Kakhorov for the vacant Oktagon Bantamweight Championship on October 18, 2025, at Oktagon 78.[17] At the weigh-ins, Kakhorov weighed in at 135.8 lb, 0.8 pounds over the limit. As a result, Balart was ineligible for the title, which left only Severino eligible to win the title.[18] However, before the event started, Kakhorov was forced to withdraw from the event due to health issues. Therefore, the bantamweight title bout was cancelled once again.[19]
