Does the octagon fence hurt?

Probably. But honestly, it should be the last thing you should be worried about.
 
I would have to think the fence is not getting hurt. I would assume it has few if any feelings so your question is strange to me.
 
I've never fought in a cage, but I would guess once you are sweaty, it's easier to slide about on the coating of the fence. As someone else pointed out, you almost never see imprints of the fence on a fighters back even after being grinded against the cage for an entire round. As I say though, I'm just guessing.
