“I may possibly be fighting Denis Kang at UFC 105…. Denis is a very experienced fighter who has fought, and beat some of the top names in the sport. I’m sure it would make for an exiting fight and we can make it a night to remember for the fans in Manchester. If your reading this Denis, good luck in training and I look forward to meeting you in Manchester.”

-U.K.'s Michael Bisping (17-2) answers recent rumors that have begun circulating about a possible match up against fellow middleweight and Pride veteran Denis Kang at UFC 105. The event takes place on November 14 from the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England.

Bisping is coming off a brutal knockout loss at the hands of Dan Henderson at last month's UFC 100. He had been on the cusp of a middleweight title shot against champ Anderson Silva prior to the loss.

The last time the UFC visited the the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England was September 2007 at UFC 75, where Bisping scored a highly controversial split decision win over fellow TUF 3 alum Matt Hamill.

Bisping had won three straight since dropping down to the middleweight division following the former light-heavweight's first career loss against Rashad Evans at UFC 78. Since winning TUF 3, Bisping has gone on to amass a 7-2 record with the UFC, earning key wins over Chris Leben and Eric Schafer.
