The UFC 158: "St. Pierre vs. Diaz" pre-fight media conference call went down earlier today (March 7, 2013) and fighters competing in the top three headlining bouts --Georges St. Pierre, Nick Diaz, Johny Hendricks, Carlos Condit, Jake Ellenberger, Nate Marquardt -- along with UFC president Dana White were on the call to answer questions from members of the media regarding the upcoming March 16, 2013, event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

If you missed the epic call, listen to it right here, right now. Do not go any further ... trust me. Then come back so this post makes sense.

Indeed, the media call was perhaps the most memorable in the history of the organization, as the welterweight champion St. Pierre and No. 1 contender Nick Diaz stole the show with several heated verbal exchanges, highlighted by Diaz cutting in and answering several questions directed at "Rush."

While the call was extremely entertaining in itself, the reactions from the Twitterverse during and after made the entire situation even better.

Check out the top Twitter reactions from fighters, fans and media below.
