Whether he knows it or not, NBA star Damian Lillard has made an enemy in former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen.
Sonnen recently appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to deliver some hot takes on a variety of topics.
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.
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 & boxing & all that stuff & I never see him acknowledge me & I'll tell you it's a jealousy thing but's it's also a p*** off thing & 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 guy, you talk to Chael. You don't ignore Chael & if you do ignore Chael, when you see Chael, Chael will whip your ass & 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.
