Charles Jourdain will be fighting in front of his home country once again.
The 28-year-old from Beloeil, Que. announced Wednesday that he will be dropping down to bantamweight to fight American Victor Henry at UFC Fight Night 246 in Edmonton on Nov. 2.
The fight will be a three-round bout.

Henry enters the fight with a 24-6-0 (1 NC) record. The 37-year-old beat Rani Yahya by TKO at a UFC Fight Night in late April.
The event in Edmonton will be headlined by the main event of Brandon Moreno vs. Amir Albazi alongside the co-main event, Erin Blanchfield vs. Rose Namajunas.
