Last night, we saw Ultimate Fighter coach Michael Bisping dominate Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
After the two put together one of the most exciting Ultimate Fighter seasons in recent history, Bisping made quick work of Miller and proved to the UFC and the rest of the world that he is a top contender in the middleweight division.
With the win, Bisping seems to be one fight away from finally getting a shot at champion Anderson Silva, and many believed that he and former No. 1 contender Chael Sonnen would fight to see who gets the champ next.
However, quickly after the fight, it was reported that Sonnen’s next opponent would be fellow contender Mark Munoz on the UFC’s second event on Fox.
It is unknown who Bisping’s next opponent will be, but according to reports by ESPN.com, we could be finding out quite soon,
“Me and Dana [White] have had a talk already, I need to have a think and a talk with my family, but there should be an announcement real soon,” said Bisping.
It could be a quick turn around for the Brit as UFC’s second card on Fox is rumored as his next featured card.
A rematch with Wanderlei Silva has been ruled out by Bisping, but one possible opponent could be former No. 1 contender Demian Maia.
Maia could be one of the only options, as other top contenders Yushin Okami and Vitor Belfort have already been booked for an upcoming fight.
With Sonnen-Munoz, as well as Rashad Evans and Phil Davis already on the card, a fight between Bisping and Maia could be the third of the four fights to be featured on the main card.
Maia has improved his striking since his embarrassing title loss to Anderson Silva and could challenge Bisping on the feet.
His jiu-jitsu, however, is top-notch and if the fight were to go to the ground, it could get interesting.
Regardless of who Bisping’s next opponent will be, a win will undoubtedly earn him his first career title shot.
