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
