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 . ’
