Tweets of the day: CM Punk and Cathal Pendred aren't pals

CM Punk signed with the UFC late last year, and made it clear that his debut wouldn't take place for a while. As a former WWE wrestler, he brings a lot of visibility to any fight he's going to take, so naturally there are fighters that are lining up to be the B side in that bout.

So while it may not have been his intention in this case, welterweight Cathal Pendred's Twitter joke (a subtweet, I might add) about Punk's pad work may have seemed that way to Mr. Brooks. He responded, and that led to a very amusing Twitter war that you can read below. Enjoy.

Warning - Punk likes to swear.

Ali wasn't a boring twat. Sweet emojis. Focus more on you, maybe you'll win a fight without a gift from the judges. https://t.co/kP7QgPHK0n

— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) August 11, 2015

Zero, but I know You're supposed to put the guy you're fighting to sleep. Not the audience. Fuck off. https://t.co/J7siN1rjGh

They got mirrors in Ireland? What sort of glass is your house made out of? https://t.co/vpo7qcuLuj

I'll tell you what I don't see in the mirror.. A 40 year old, washed up wrestler who's used his fame to get into UFC https://t.co/zISezKTVyr

.@CMPunk Apologies to all the wrestlers out there. I meant to say "washed up actor".

— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) August 11, 2015

Fuck you're boring. https://t.co/5VOII36LMO

.@CMPunk Stalling with your comeback. Call the guy who writes your lines.

Everybody watch out for the "Ali like" movement. http://t.co/c8tNPq9lY3

.@Pendred Make fun of my age, my skill, where I come from, but realize I've made more money on my per diems alone than you have in the @ufc

— Coach (@CMPunk) August 11, 2015

.@CMPunk All the money in the world won't change the fact that you're a sad little prick that's PRETENDING to be a fighter.

There may be more on this - they're still tweeting as I write this. Punk (0-0. 0-0 UFC) is hoping to make his debut either at the end of 2015 or in early 2016. Pendred (17-3-1, 4-1 UFC) is coming off his first UFC loss to John Howard last month.
