The social media feud between Irishman Cathal Pendred and CM Punk has escalated to the point where some people are now hoping to see them fight. The problem is that the former professional wrestler CM Punk -- real name Phil Brooks -- has never been in an MMA bout, while Pendred has been in 21, including five in the UFC.
So how does an odd couple like this come together? Through backhanded self-deprecation, it turns out.
Last week Pendred posted a tweet with a short interview between FOX and CM Punk, in which B-roll was played of his hitting pads at Roufusport in Milwaukee.
