The UFC announced Wednesday it will return to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Feb. 19, and London, England, on March 18.
Matchups have yet to be announced for the Fight Night events, which are expected to be broadcast on FOX Sports 1.
The UFC last visited Halifax in October 2014 for UFC Fight Night 94, where former welterweight title challenger Rory MacDonald finished Tarec Saffiedine via third-round TKO in the main event. February's event will be held at the Scotiabank Centre.
UFC Fight Night 84, the promotion's last trip to the British capital, saw Michael Bisping take a decision over Anderson Silva in the marquee bout. According to the promotion, that event sold out in just 27 minutes. March's fight will again take place at the O2 Arena.
