FOOTBALL fans have been left scratching their heads after ex-UFC star Chael Sonnen bizarrely called out Lionel Messi AND Wayne Rooney.
The 45-year-old then labelled himself as football’s ‘Goat’.
But Sonnen brandished Messi, widely regarded as one of football’s best ever players, and England icon Rooney , as “BUMS.”;
Taking to Twitter, he replied to a tweet from Rooney saying “nothing has changed”; in response to an old post from 2012 in which he hailed Messi as the best footballer of all time.
And Sonnen bizarrely declared: “Messi is a BUM. So are you.”;
When asked who football’s ‘Goat’ was, he declared: “I am.”;
Fans were left confused by the strange crossover, as Sonnen appeared to hit out at the two legends unprompted.
One wrote on social media: “Didn’t expect to see this.”;
Another said: “What is this collab.”;
And a third added: “wtf chael Hhahahaha.”;
