20/07/09 - Bisping wants to "kick backside" and rematch Henderson

Michael Bisping has promised to “kick someone's backside” when he returns to action in Manchester, England later this year.

The top UK middleweight suffered the first KO loss of his career in a fight with Dan Henderson at UFC 100 last week and is keen to get back into action and redeem himself.

"I am gonna kick someone's backside in Manchester in front of my hometown crowd, then fight again as soon as possible and then rematch with Henderson," Bisping tells the Manchester Evening News today. "That wasn't the best of me in the ring in Vegas and I want another crack at him.”

"I want a top fighter in Manchester, I want to get back up there straight away. That's what I have told the UFC,” he added. "I can't wait to fight in Manchester again, it will be good to fight in front of my own supporters again."

The Manchester Evening News sponsors the arena of the same name which will host UFC 105 on
November 14th.

Bisping has fought there once before, beating Elvis Sinosic at UFC 70, and is sure to get a rapturous reception from the local fans.

The Wolfslair gym he represents is a forty minute drive from the arena and at lest one of his team mates there - such as Paul Kelly - is also likely to feature on the card.
