Michael Bisping is promising to call the tune when he fights Jason Miller this weekend, and then the Brit will go bashing down Dana White's door for a title shot in 2012.

Bisping and Miller are preparing to finish their TUF 14 rivalry, which saw them go toe-to-toe as rival coaches. Miller had all the early laughs as his team won the first four fights, but Bisping won the coaches' challenge and is adamant he'll repeat his success in the Octagon on Saturday.

Throughout the series Bisping appeared to hold ultimate control over his rival, taking charge of the scuffles that broke out, and the Brit insists it won't be any different come fight night.

"I had an air of authority over him the entire time," Bisping told ESPN. "He broke rank for a moment, but other than that he was my bitch and he'll be my bitch on Saturday night."

A win for Bisping takes him to 4-0 in his last four fights, and he insists he'll be coming to attack Miller this weekend. Having already had one run at the title, stopped by Dan Henderson, Bisping is convinced this time he feels like a champion, and he is ready to make a statement to Dana White.

"I feel like I can beat anyone to be honest," said the Brit. "My wrestling, my striking... my boxing has got even better. I've developed a much more attacking style and modified my footwork.

"My striking's there, my wrestling's there, my jiu-jitsu's there, my cardio's always been there, so I plan on getting through Miller and hopefully sometime next year I'll be fighting for the title."
