Before Conor McGregor, multi-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen was the king of trash talk in the promotion. After his retirement and conversion to sports analyst, it appeared Sonnen took the high road. However, his recent tweet about a NASCAR Cup Series motor race will ruffle some feathers among the fans of the sport.

‘The Bad Guy’ posted a tweet about the Daytona 500 event and looked to live up to his moniker.

The 45-year-old wrote, “I’m enjoying the frustration by folks who thought the Daytona 500 was a competition as opposed to scripted entertainment. The theories you have Of driving and it’s “techniques” are Precious.”

Sonnen even brought the world’s richest man and CEO of Tesla, who once took a dig at F1, into the equation; “Pray to God in heaven above that @elonmusk does not enter a Tesla.”

The electric cars’ juggernaut, Musk, has shown no interest in entering the NASCAR field. However, who knew he could pull off a $43 billion Twitter deal in no time? Thus, ruling out the possibility wouldn’t be the best idea.

The motive behind Sonnen’s tweet was a mystery. Though, such a claim is not a new thing for the former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight challenger.

The American mixed martial artist once claimed that the Nogueira brothers tried to feed a bus a carrot. And when Joe Rogan asked if he said it as a joke, he infamously said, “That happened.”

Thus, Sonnen making wild claims is something MMA fans are used to. But for the NASCAR fans, it could be an outrageous statement.

Chael Sonnen talked his way into UFC championship fights

‘The American Gangster’ was a phenomenal wrestler. However, his relentless fighting style saw him getting caught in multiple triangle chokes in his MMA career. Sonnen, a decent fighter, became a household name because of his rivalry with middleweight GOAT Anderson Silva.

After a couple of failed attempts to get past ‘The Spider’, the Oregon native pushed for a contest against Jon Jones, then-light heavyweight champion. And while the division had many contenders, Sonnen, with his recent notoriety at the time, secured a fight against ‘Bones‘.
