text: Michael Bisping is eyeing a long-awaited homecoming ahead of his fight against CB Dollaway. The Manchester middleweight takes on Dollaway in Montreal on Saturday night bidding to avoid losing successive fights for the first time in his career. And assuming he does so, Bisping is open to fighting again in Glasgow this July, five years since he last fought in the UK. Michael Bisping gets up close to CB Dolloway during the UFC 186 weigh-in at Metropolis on Friday . ‘I know it’s a cliche but I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to take on the world, and by world I mean CB Dollaway,’ he said. ‘For me it’s just another day in the office. This is what I love to do, this is what I was put on this earth to do. ‘Make no mistake, I’m going to deliver for the fans in Montreal. ‘He’s going to look for a takedown, I’m going to stop that takedown. ‘I’m in the best training situation of my life – if I had this type of training my entire career, I’d have been a world champion five years ago. I just have to prove to the world I’m still one of the best. I’ll beat CB, then I’ll beat someone else and then you’ll hear me start talking about that title shot again. ‘I haven’t fought in the UK in five years. After this fight, if the UFC wants me to fight on the Glasgow card I’ll do it. I’ll fight anywhere in the UK. I’m an Englishman at heart and it’s been far too long since I’ve been able to fight in the UK.’ Bisping looks to get back to winning ways against Dolloway  in Canada this weekend . Bisping is coming off the back of a defeat by Luke Rockhold last November but still considers himself among the best in the world. ‘I’m expecting the best CB Dollaway there is, and I expect him to be confident. But his courage will diminish as the fight goes on, and I will knock him out,’ he added. ‘CB Dollaway is a very good athlete. He’s a great wrestler, he’s a mediocre striker – I’m by far a better striker. ‘I’ve never lost two fights back to back. I need to put a win streak together. But I still consider myself one of the best in the world. ‘The last fight against Rockhold, we clashed heads and I couldn’t see too well – he caught me with a head kick and that was it. ‘I know I’ve had my setbacks, they’ve been well documented. There’s no shame in losing to the guys I’ve lost to; they’re all guys who could be world champions. Dana White called me after the Luke Rockhold fight and told me the reason I was losing fights is because I’m consistently fighting the best guys in the world – not everyone can say that. ‘I’m going to prove that I’m still one of the best in the world.’
