CM Punk: ‘A lot of feelings were hurt’ by Conor McGregor’s WWE insults

Conor McGregor's insults of WWE performers didn't go over too well in the world of pro wrestling. If the many, many responses on social media didn't prove that, CM Punk confirmed it this week on a UFC 203 media conference call.

"A lot of feelings were hurt, though, I can tell you that much, which I thought was a little strange," Punk said. "You've gotta leave the emotion out of it. These guys still don't know."

Punk, 37, is a former WWE champion and was one of the biggest stars in the company before retiring in 2014.
