The 31-year-old Musgrave is a former Army Ranger and enters the title affair riding a four-fight winning streak. He stopped UFC veteran Alvin “Kid” Robinson by first-round TKO at RFA 22 in January. Barcelos, meanwhile, ran his record to 8-1 in February with a first-round knockout of Jamal Parks at RFA 22. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt has stopped six of his eight wins before the final bell.
