The UFC's return to London, England is set for Feb. 27, with a trio of bouts announced on Tuesday -- including a middleweight showdown between Michael Bisping and Gegard Mousasi.

Bisping returns home to fight in England for the first time since 2010, when he defeated Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 120.

Lately, the British contender has racked up back-to-back victories over C.B. Dollaway and Thales Leites to move back into the title picture at 185 pounds.

Meanwhile, Mousasi will look to get back on track after suffering a TKO loss to Uriah Hall in Japan this past September.

The former Strikeforce champion has gone just 2-2 over his last four fights and he'll try to settle on more stable ground when he faces Bisping.

Also announced for the upcoming card is a featherweight matchup between flashy finisher Makwan Amirkhani, looking for his third straight victory in the UFC, and Mike Wilkinson.

Fresh off a win over Reza Madadi in October, Norman Parke will also get back in action as he takes on Rustam Khabilov in a lightweight showdown.

More bouts will be announced in the coming days.
