Brazilian fans were pleased with the star-studded card scheduled to take place in the city of Curitiba (PR) this Saturday (14), at UFC 198. After all, the fight night will feature the participation of Fabricio Werdum, Vitor belfort, Ronaldo Jacare, Anderson Silva, Chris Cyborg, Mauritius Shogun, Demian Maia, between others. However, there are people who feel “depressed” with the lineup, as is the case with Ultimate middleweight Tim Kennedy.

A strong critic of the use of doping in sport, Kennedy recalled the controversial history of some of the night's stars with banned substances. “Four out of five fights on the UFC 198 main card feature a cheating steroid user. It's quite depressing to see that this is encouraged,” the fighter wrote on his Twitter account.
