Phil Brooks, aka CM Punk, had heard the comments of Conor McGregor regarding his former co-workers at the World Wrestling Entertainment for the past couple of weeks.
The Notorious had chosen WWE's main attraction, John Cena, as a target of his latest blasts on the wrestling organization.
"What's the main guy? John Cena," said McGregor
"He's 40. He's 40 years of age. He's walking around in a luminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him. We can see him right there. He's a big fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia mother f*cker."
When asked about the recent comments of WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, McGregor has this to say during the pre-UFC 202 media press conference.
"I don't know what to say to Ric Flair," said McGregor.
"This ain't no gimmick. This is the real sh*t. I've gotta get in and fight a man for real. With no script, with no nothing. He was talking about bringing some other wrestler guys out to challenge me. Come bring it, then. This is the real shit over here. You know want to come over, we can fight no problem. A few of them are talking about the street and all. If they want to do that, come at me and see what happens."
It was only during the UFC 203 media conference call where in Brooks had the chance to address McGregor's Remarks.
"A lot of feelings were hurt, though, I can tell you that much, which I thought was a little strange," Punk said through MMAFighting.com
"You've gotta leave the emotion out of it. These guys still don't know."
With that, CM Punk was also careful on his comments because of the huge fan base of McGregor
"It's a hard thing to comment on, because the amount of people who responded to him made me feel like they were told to respond to him," Punk said.
"(McGregor is) the biggest name in sports at the moment. There's always grey areas when you involve that whole scene and you're wondering, is this a work, is this not a work?"
With his WWE days begins his new journey into the world of Mixed Martial Arts, Brooks is set to have a debut in the Octagon on September 10 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio against the Mickey Gall, who has a professional MMA 2-0.
