Last Saturday was the second time in six months that the UFC held a show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the show was exciting to say the least. Yet from the outset when the card was being filled out, it didn't really live up to previous cards, especially since it was the first card of the year. If you compare it to the previous Brazil card, UFC 134, it gets completely blown out...

Griffin says his Twitter warning was a warning for everyone
