This is a crazy PPV for the USA. Hope Dalton Smith can win but can’t believe they have allowed Matias to be cleared to fight just because they deemed the PED was below a certain level.

I'm not an expert on PED's, so I'll throw out that disclaimer first. I think these thresholds, as in the case of Ostarine, are established in an effort to differentiate between intentional doping, and trace contamination.
Not saying whether that's good or bad.
Just throwing my opinion out there.

This one unfolding as it has just felt a bit off to me. Throwing out the failed test alone is atrocious. But even the way it came out of nowhere literally in the ring post Marias v Puello. There stood Turki ring center and barged in on the post fight interview all but directly telling the champion Matias he will fight Smith next because Turki wants it. But here we are on fight week and the match is literally buried with no platform to air it, no Dazn and stuffed behind a ludicrous PPV wall. It's just terrible promotion of a title fight in a marquee US city and Barclays arena. It should be a decent fight. And I'm not putting on a tinfoil hat on but something is odd. I'm sure the judging will be fair and square with no controversy at all .

Matchroom which is Smith promotion bid 1.6 million but lost to this PPV company who bid 1.9 million. They have not filled the arena for this bout and must be losing money for this event.

Dalton Smith is in for a tough night and Matais just is relentless (wonder how?) but really hope he can pull this off. Credit to Dalton for taking this challenge but so it should be for a world title.

Could very well be. His best plan of action imo will be to work for exactly that, no matter what.
