UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping is just a few weeks removed from knee surgery, but that's not stopping the former Ultimate Fighter winner from speaking his mind.

Bisping, as anย analystย on UFC Tonight, said about his return (h/t MMA Junkie), "The knee is healing nicely and it has been three weeks since the operation and I just started training. I just spoke to Joe Silva not too long ago and I am hoping to fight at UFC 152 in Toronto."

Michael Bisping has never been one to hold anything back, so when asked about potential opponents for his targeted return at UFC 152, Bisping said (h/t MMA Weekly), "I would like to fight Brian Stann; he is a good fighter. A second one is Alan Belcher."

Belcher is coming off possibly the biggest win of his career when he finished leg-lockย specialist Rousimar Palhares at UFC on Fox this past May. Bisping's take on fighting Belcher was a little different from his reason for wanting to fight Stann.

"Alan Belcherโ€™s somebody thatโ€™s been calling me out for seems like forever now. To be quite frank Iโ€™m sick of it. So, Alan Belcher, if your balls are big enough call Joe Silva and letโ€™s do it," commented Bisping.ย 

Belcher is currently nursing a hand injury that could keep him on the mend for a couple more months, but the timing could match Bisping's heeling timetable perfectly.

Stann responded to Bisping's statements on Twitter by saying, "my shoulder will be ready, fans want it, we always deliver, lets do it."

Whether it's Stann or Belcher, we'reย guaranteedย an exciting matchup when Michael Bisping returns to the Octagon.
