Brad Pickett has been booked to fight in his home country.

Pickett will face Iuri Alcantara in a bantamweight bout at UFC 204 in Manchester, England, according to Danny Segura from MMAFighting.com.

Pickett last fought in February, winning a split decision over Francisco Rivera. The win, his first since moving back up to bantamweight, broke a three-fight losing streak.

"One Punch" was originally scheduled to fight Henry Briones at UFC Fight Night 93 in September, but the fight was scrapped for unknown reasons.

Alcantara is also coming of a loss, dropping a unanimous decision to Jimmie Rivera in January.

UFC 204 is scheduled for Oct. 8, and is expected to be headlined by a middleweight title fight between Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson.
