Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen Results: What UFC 148 Triumph Means for Silva

Anderson Silva's triumph in UFC 148 over rival Chael Sonnen on Saturday night has proven that he's one of the best MMA fighters in recent memory.

Silva was under immense pressure to give a good performance on Saturday and he delivered in a major way. After a convincing TKO of Sonnen, Silva has erased all doubt concerning who is better between the two.

The win improved Silva's record to 30-4 in MMA and 15-0 in UFC, which is just remarkable. It's very difficult to go undefeated over a number of years in the UFC, but Silva's unbeaten record is further proof of how talented he is.

With the Brazilian's second career victory over Sonnen now in the past, everyone wants to know what's next for the UFC middleweight champ.

A fight with Michael Bisping would be a great matchup for all MMA fans. Bisping is a very talented fighter with a good all-around skill set and a record of impressive wins that would give him confidence in a possible bout with Silva.

Silva was already a huge star for UFC, but after this latest victory, his popularity will definitely continue to grow.

The UFC would be smart to capitalize on this and get him another marquee fight against a big-name opponent.

People will watch Silva fight no matter who he opposes, but that doesn't mean that an easy challenger is best for him. A bout with Bisping would be a very marketable fight for the UFC, and one that would certainly interest casual and diehard MMA fans.
