Oliveira is 4 years younger, 3” inches taller, and has a 4” inch reach advantage.
Oliveira has been a pro fighter since 2005, and is making his light heavyweight debut. Generally speaking he is a good boxer, placing 2nd in 2010 and 2011 at the Brazilian Boxing Championship tournament. He is a training partner of JDS, has ten knockout victories, one submission (BJJ black belt), and has won three of his last four fights.
Barroso has been a pro since 2005, and is a former LHW champion in Shooto Brazil and WOCS. He is a former State Jiu-Jitsu Champion, holds blackbelts in both BJJ and Kickboxing (classic UFC.com profile accolaids!), and is a training partner of Jose Aldo at Nova Uniao. He has won twelve of his last thirteen (current three fight win streak), has ten knockouts, four submissions, and eleven first round finishes.
Barroso does not appear to be an easy fight from the information I found, but Oliveria having the TotT sweep, and the experience of having a previous fight in the UFC (even if it was close to two years ago...) could make the difference here. Barroso took this fight on just two weeks notice. I think Oliveira will be favored.

The reach and power of Oliveira should win it for him.
