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.”

Messi is aiming to lead Argentina to World Cup glory on Sunday.
The 35-year-old has almost single-handedly dragged his nation into the final against France.
Messi has scored five goals in six games this tournament, as well as providing three assists.
But clearly it’s still not enough to impress Sonnen.
