Palhares out, Tarsis Humphreys in/Freakshows take many forms

The Leg Locker has lost it's co-star. The Simple Jack of submission grappling and MMA, Palhares is out due to weight and a shoulder injury, but mainly due to the injury I'm told.

I was curious, to be sure, but the booking always had that Elephant Man/King Kong Freakshow type appeal to it....let's be honest.

I'm not saying I wasn't curious or would not have watched it, but, let's call it for what it was.
We were all waiting and hoping to see a Nascar styled devastating wreck or to see an Elephant Man/Quasimodo style freak out win, lose, or draw. In fact, had Toquinho showed up, competed, won or lost or drawn, and nothing happened....we would have been disappointed. The mob wanted blood in some proverbial or figurative form.






As replacement, we get the bearded guy who hurt Romulo's knee a few years ago.
