CLITHEROE'S Michael Bisping is aiming to land a knockout blow on Saturday in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The 28-year-old is up against veteran Elvis Sinosic in his first fight in England since winning the Ultimate Fighter 3 Light Heavyweight tournament.
The Count, who has a reach advantage and is strong on the ground, is defending his 13-0 professional record at the Manchester Evening News Arena tomorrow night.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a great event, I've got a lot of family and friends coming along to cheer me on.
"Training has gone well and my opponent looks in good shape so it should be a good fight for the fans.
"Hopefully I'll be celebrating another win."
