Think Sean Strickland’s the only UFC fighter with Megan Fox in his DMs? Think again. It turns out the Transformers star also slid into the messages of UFC welterweight and three-time title challenger Colby Covington. But contrary to what some might assume, she wasn’t there to criticize or confront him. Instead, Fox reached out because of Covington’s notorious “bad guy” persona in the Octagon.
Colby Covington has long embraced the role of a pro-wrestling kind of heel in the UFC—never hesitating to stir up controversy, whether it’s trash-talking opponents’ families or pushing boundaries with his bold promos. While his antics often rub fans the wrong way, Megan Fox seems to have a soft spot for fighters who walk on the wild side. In a recent interview—shared by Happy Punch on X—Covington didn’t just talk about the message, he showed proof. Pulling out his phone mid-interview, he recalled the surreal moment:
“Dude, my whole life, the baddest b—h, I always thought it was Megan Fox. That was the girl. And then, after one of my fights, she messaged me, dude. She was just like, ‘Colby, you’re my favorite UFC bad guy.’ And I went from fucking idolizing her, thinking she’s beautiful—she’s in my DMs. Can I read that out loud or not?”
With the host’s approval, Covington read her full message: “We are rooting for you tonight. You are my favorite UFC bad guy since Chael Sonnen. It’s probably hard to keep that character all the time when you are naturally a more sensitive, sweet person. It’s worth it.”
