Barcelos has already won three bouts under the RFA banner, which includes a win over UFC veteran Tyler Toner.

Melvin “The Career Killer” Blumer (12-3-0) vs. Shawn West (12-6-0-1NC)

West will enter the fight riding a seven fight winning streak an dthis fight will mark his official RFA debut. Blumer has not seen one of his bouts go to a decision in just over three years, a streak that has lasted for a total of five fights. West is on quite a good streak as well right now as his last eight fights as a professional have all ended in the opening round. West has been finishing a lot of fighters lately with his striking game, but Blumer uses his wrestling game to grind out a decision win.
RFA Flyweight Division Fight
“King” Chico Camus (14-7-0-1NC) vs. Matt Brown (10-5-0)
Camus will be competing for the first time since his UFC release, which came after a loss to Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson.

RFA Welterweight Division Fight
Logan Storley (2-0-0) vs. Lemetra “5150” Griffin (1-4-0)
Storley has spent his entire professional MMA career thus far in the RFA promotion, last defeating Marc Hummel at RFA 32.
