MMA Legend Threatens NBA Star Damian Lillard With A Beatdown On Sight After Disagreeing With His Tough Guy Act
Story by Kyle Dimond • Yesterday 12:00 PM
Whether he knows it or not, NBA star Damian Lillard has made an enemy in former UFC title challenger
Chael Sonnen.
Always opinionated and never outdone, Sonnen recently appeared on The MMA Hour with
Ariel Helwani to deliver some hot takes as usual on a variety of topics.
Whilst he is never afraid to mark his flag in the ground and defend that hill, the former ESPN analyst directed his first shot at an unplanned target.
At the start of the conversation, Chael pointed out a bobble head on Helwani's desk of Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard.
Whilst he was stunned at first that Sonnen even knew who Lillard was, Ariel quickly got the full picture with Chael being from Oregon which then turned the conversation into the 'Bad Guy's' opinion on Lillard.
Chael Sonnen Issues A Warning To Lillard: "You Don't Ignore Chael"
Immediately listing off his issues with Lillard after saying that he's not too happy with him, Sonnen explained where the beef on his part comes from.
Stating that the Blazers have this "weird thing" where they refuse to acknowledge Chael as another athlete from the same area, the lack of recognition is the first aspect of the feud.
The second part, is the way Lillard conducts himself on social media which when combined with the team ignoring Sonnen, is enough to get them on his bad side.
"I see Lillard posting on social media constantly like clout chasing and boxing and all that stuff and I never see him acknowledge me and I'll tell you it's a jealousy thing but's it's also a p*** off thing and if I talked to Damian Lillard on social media, particularly when it's about fighting, which he's always trying to act like he's some kind of a tough, you talk to Chael. You don't ignore Chael and if you do ignore Chael, when you see Chael, Chael will whip your ass and that's where me and Lillard stand to tell you the truth."
After airing his grievances, he did admit that he isn't going to fight Lillard if he comes face-to-face with him. Though he does maintain that he should acknowledge who the tough guy around these parts is.
