VFC 59 headlined by two title fights Dec. 16 in Omaha
VFC intends to conclude 2017 on a high note.
The promotion on Tuesday announced VFC 59, which takes place Dec. 16 at Baxter Arena in Omaha, Neb., will be headlined by two title fights to stream on UFC Fight Pass.
Raufeon Stots will defend his bantamweight title against Arnold Berdon in the main event, while new middleweight champ Yuri Villefort takes on Victor Moreno.
Stots (8-1) is unbeaten in five fights under the VFC banner but will enter his title defense against Berdon (6-1) coming off a loss. Stots was knocked out in just 15 seconds with a spinning back fist by Merab Dvalishvili last June at ROC 59 for the first loss of his career. Berdon will come in on a three-fight winning streak, including back-to-back victories with VFC.
Villefort (10-5) is riding a four-fight winning streak as he prepares to defend his title. It’s been a complete reversal of late for Villefort, who had lost five straight prior to his current streak of victories. The veteran Moreno (39-23), with 62 pro fights under his belt at age 33, has won two in a row.
These are the first two fights announced for VFC 59. The promotion expects to announce the rest of the card soon.
