Bisping plans on using the Belcher fight to be his redemption from his KO loss to Vitor Belfort. Bisping and Belcher are set to square off [...]

Georges St-Pierre snaps back at Nick Diaz calling him ?pampered? in UFC 158 call

When Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva were promoting their fight last year, there was a conference call when Silva stopped being the nice guy. After listening to Sonnen rip Silva and talk about how he was going to win for months, Silva snapped. As he had not done previously, Silva talked about the many ways he was going to beat up Sonnen.

Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has finally had his Silva Snap Moment. On the UFC 158 press call, Nick Diaz talked about how pampered GSP is.

"I work hard regardless, through this [expletive], but I don?t have people toweling me off and handing me water bottles left and right, and getting my training paid for me," Diaz said. "I?ve got to do all that [expletive] on my own, and every day I know it, and that?s why I know I have to go that much harder, and concentrate, and do that much more, because I don?t have people taking care of my money or financial tax obligations, or what have you ? I?m too busy fighting all your fights, I?m too busy entertaining all the fans.?

Like Diaz, GSP started from humble beginnings. He's been fighting since 2002, and has lost just twice. GSP is usually pretty bland in his pre-fight interviews, but balked at the idea he was handed his success.

"Let me tell you something, uneducated fool. Listen to me. I have not always been rich. I start from the bottom. I made myself, I work very hard to be where I am right now. I know you don?t believe this, because you didn?t succeed yet, and maybe you will never succeed in your life because I don?t think you?re smart enough to understand how you should do to reach that point,? St-Pierre said.

Yiiiikes. With the two fighting next weekend at UFC 158 in Montreal, there will likely be a few more unkind words said to one another. We have that to look forward to, as well as a really fun title fight on Mar. 16.

Brothers set to face off on Mother?s Day weekend in the Maximum Fighting Championship

There are few siblings who can say they never fought with each other. I avoided it because my sister could kill me. But in Canada's Maximum Fighting Championship, two brothers are taking their sibling rivalry to the cage. Mike and Thomas Treadwell will fight at MFC 37 in May.

Not only are they brothers, but they share a condo in Alberta. This will be their MMA debut, and their parents are not pleased.

[Also: Junior dos Santos thinks Alistair Overeem is a joke]

?Dad was angry and thinks we?re idiots. Mom knows but we don?t talk about it with her. Everyone else seems supportive,? Thomas said via press release.

MMA has plenty of brother combos. Ken and Frank Shamrock, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Joe and Dan Lauzon, and Jim and Dan Miller have all fought at MMA's highest levels. But MFC believes this is the first time two brothers are facing off in the cage.

The brothers will face off on May 10, just two days before Mother's Day. It should make for a very interesting family celebration.
