Cathal Pendred tweeted out an interview with CM Punk on Tuesday night featuring the former WWE star working some pads.
Not exactly the most dynamic striker himself, Pendred said that Punk's technique 'makes me look like Muhammad Ali'.

That set off a full scale Twitter argument between Punk, who was signed by the UFC last year, and the Irish welterweight.
CM Punk, real name Phil Brooks, labelled Pendred a 'boring twat' and referenced some of the Irishman's debatable victories in the UFC.
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

Pendred hit back by bringing up the American's lack of a professional record.
@CMPunk I've actually won 17 professional fights, how many have you won?
