RIO DE JANEIRO - It was a fight with so much bad blood that the referee had to give a warning to a fighter for bad language.
The fight itself had plenty of actual blood. But when it was over, it was Cristiano Marcello who came out on the right end of a split decision against Reza Madadi - though social media quickly was aflutter with fans questioning the scorecards.
The lightweight bout opened up Saturday's UFC 153 card at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
