Dang, so turns out Paul Bradley was the one who got kicked off due to some kind of stress-induced rash on the side of his neck (looked similar to the staph that was going around in season 4). Like they said, it sucks that it was due to something outside of his control, but they did the right thing.
Pretty good episode - minimal "drama", a pretty good fight, and the team selections (my favourite part of every season).
Pretty funny how after Dana announced that Bradley would be leaving and Rampage would need to pick a replacement, his first pick(s) were injured in their prelims. After a while Dana goes "Just pick someone"; Rampage: "Give me him"; Dana: "He's still here..." (everyone chuckles)
In the end, the replacement turned out to be Patrick Schultz, much to everyone's surprise (even me) - I figured they would've went for either Josh Hall or Jeremiah Riggs.
