1. Wants to choose his opponent
2. Wants to choose the venue
"Bisping doesn't believe the former Strikeforce champ deserves a shot at redemption and has already zeroed on the fighter he wants to face next.
...
"Unfortunately, I'm not going to give you a name," Bisping told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
"There is someone I've got my eye on, but ultimately it's down to the UFC. I do get a say since I'm the champion, so that's nice.
Bisping, 29-7, also revealed he's already informed the UFC brass that he's keen for his first title defence to take place in the UK.
"He added: "Defending the title in the U.K. is certainly something I'd love to do, and I've already made it clear to Dana White that I would like to do that."
