When someone utters the phrase "outspoken MMA fighter", a few guys come to mind. Chael Sonnen is probably the first (and the reigning champ). Not far behind would be one of Chael's former opponents, Michael Bisping. He usually has something to say to pretty much fighter that dares to say anything to him, and today he got into it with another outspoken fighter - Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren. Askren's teammate Alan Belcher is facing Bisping at UFC 159, and I guess he felt the need to call Bisping out. Bisping responded, and...well, you can read the whole thing below.

It started with Bisping taking a shot at his last opponent, Vitor Belfort, for his use of TRT after Vitor made a joke about him:

@vitorbelfort you only fight where your allowed to cheat. Fight me in Vegas.. Oh..you can't because your not allowed to use your steroids — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

This is where Askren piped up about Belcher:

@bisping hey @alanbelcherufc isn't juicing so what is going to be your excuse when he knocks you cold?? — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

And the race was on:

@bisping @alanbelcherufc so seriously what's the excuse gonna be?Better start thinking of one now! — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

@benaskren @alanbelcherufc you just focus on continually boring the shit out of people. You do it well. — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

@benaskren @sonnench @alanbelcherufc Ben you focus on fightin in a league where hector Lombard is literally unbeatable. And a haircut please — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

@bisping @alanbelcherufc I would blanket you worse than @sonnench did. Watch your tone.Just start thinking of excuses, you will need them — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

@bisping Hey at least this doesnt have to happen to me for fans to get excited.a.espncdn.com/photo/2013/011… — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

Seriously though a great American like @alanbelcherufc would never let a stinkin Brit beat him. — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

If it was old school MMA I would just take @bisping down and lay on him til he died of starvation.But @alanbelcherufc will put him asleep — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

@bisping your little carnie hands creep out Hector. — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

"@benaskren: @bisping your little carnie hands creep out Hector."ooohh great comeback.. I admit defeat. — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

@bisping You know what they say about guys with small hands! — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

@benaskren no... No I don't. Please enlighten me toilet brush head. — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

Ok I'm bored with giving the blanket some air time. Logging off for now. — michael (@bisping) March 12, 2013

OK I am going to dinner with my hot wife.You guys have fun arguing on Twitter.benandamyaskren.com/resources/phot… — Ben Askren (@Benaskren) March 12, 2013

@benaskren your grandads suit doesn't quite fit you. — michael (@bisping) March 13, 2013

There's no real winner when two grown men attempt to one-up each other on the internet, but if I was forced to pick a winner, I'd go with Bisping. What do you say, folks? Vote below!
