For biting their opponents, fighters have been suspended and/or fined in the past. Tyson was punished for biting Evander Holyfield's ear, as well as Kash Ali who bit on David Price.
The decision of the referee was met with fury by viewers.
They took to Twitter to criticize Demario and the man in the middle, as well as Demario who was returning to the ring after being knocked out in October by Jose Zepeda.
One tweet: "Feel as this should always be an straight DQ."

A fellow viewer said: "Point deduction? Should be disqualified and banned. Kash Ali was given a six-month ban and, if it is a mistake, a fine.
A third participant said, "Don't know how he didn’t get DQ'd because of this." This is just plain dirty.
