Sorry, I wasn't tracking this event very closely...why didn't Brooks end up wrestling?

Detained at customs for attempting to smuggle in a Schedule II controlled substance that helps him pay attention and cut weight at midnight

Is Brooks injured?

He had already lost to Masoumi in the past.  This result wasn't a surprise.

He lost 11-6 last time (it was last year at this same tournament) and it was fairly competitive. In that same tournament, Masoumi beat Givi Macharashvili 6-2, and Parris did the same with Givi, 9-2 a few months later.

This time, these guys looked like from different divisions. Also, 4-2 win vs Zillmer, who I have a ton of respect for, is underwhelming. I thinks that Parris is either untrained or off his peak, and Masoumi is just approaching his best.

Anybody know the actual reason Brooks didn't wrestle?

Did you watch the match?  Masoumi was never close to losing or in danger.

Sometimes people are just bad matchups. 

Zare and Taha always wrestled each other close and while Taha and Gwiz could have decently competitive matches, Zare always absolutely destroyed Gwiz.
