Also featured on the card is former Oklahoma State wrestling standout Jamal Parks, who is less than a month removed from a submission victory in Jan., will look to push his undefeated record to 6-0 against the dangerous Raoni Barcelos. Let’s get down to our predictions for what should be an exciting night for RFA. Main Event: Joe Murphy vs. Terrion Ware Murphy has a dangerous submission game, but he put his hands to work in his win against Bruno Frazatto with a first round TKO win.
