Eddie Wineland is expected to face promotional newcomer Ken Stone at WEC 53 on Dec. 16. Sources close to the fight told MMA Fighting on Tuesday that the bout has been agreed to and contracts are expected to be finalized soon.
Wineland, the first bantamweight champion in WEC history, was scheduled to fight Damacio Page on Thursday at WEC 52 in Las Vegas. But as first reported by MMA Fighting, he had to pull out of that bout with a shoulder injury.
