The rivalry between Georges St Pierre and BJ Penn is over in the sense that they're not going to step into the Octagon together again, but it's far from over in the sense that they're not going to stop talking about each other any time soon.

Penn has repeatedly called St. Pierre a cheater, and St. Pierre, in a call to promote UFC 100, took a swipe at Penn in discussing his upcoming opponent, Thiago Alves.

Thiago Alves and Georges St. Pierre joined the media Thursday for a conference call regarding their UFC 100 welterweight title match.

Suffice it to say, this matchup lacks the venom of St. Pierre's last championship defense against BJ Penn, as both combatants were quick to praise each other.

Alves seemed supremely confident in his ability to topple GSP and emerge with the gold. The huge welterweight, who is in the midst of a seven-fight win streak including victories over Josh Koscheck, Matt Hughes and Karo Parisyan, sounded like he believes a title is his destiny. What follows below is a select list of his quotes.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St Pierre and No. 1 contender Thiago Alves, who will meet at UFC 100, aren't just the top two welterweights in the UFC. They might also be the two biggest. On a call Thursday to promote their upcoming fight, St. Pierre and Alves said they both weigh more than 190 pounds right now, just over two weeks out from a UFC 100 weigh-in for which they'll have to tip the scales at 170.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St Pierre is a heavy favorite in his July 11 title defense against Thiago Alves at UFC 100, but as UFC President Dana White says in videos to promote the fight, Alves is probably the toughest challenger St. Pierre has faced, and this fight represents the biggest opportunity Alves has ever had as a professional fighter.

MMA Top 10 Welterweights: After UFC 99, What's Next for Mike Swick?

Mike Swick had another impressive victory Saturday, beating Ben Saunders at UFC 99, and in my view solidifying his status as a Top 5 welterweight in MMA.

And that means that if Georges St Pierre beats Thiago Alves next month at UFC 100, Swick will hold the distinction of being the best welterweight in the UFC that St. Pierre hasn't already beaten. That means Swick could be very close to a title shot, even though I think he probably needs one more win over a Top 10 opponent, like maybe Matt Hughes or Dan Hardy, who entered my Top 10 after beating Marcus Davis Saturday.

My full list of the Top 10 welterweights in MMA is below.

UFC 98: Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra

Unlike the UFC 98 main event title match, in which anything could happen and we wouldn't really be surprised, the co-main event between longtime rivals Matt Hughes and Matt Serra has a certain level of predictability to it.

Both Hughes and Serra, after all, have been fighting for years and employing their own formulas to success.

What adds the sizzle to this one is the war of words that will finally see a winner emerge. So how will it go down? Let's take a look.
