Colby Covington, the former interim welterweight champion, has shared a surprising anecdote: Megan Fox once reached out to him directly to express her support.
In a recent chat with streamer Neon, the outspoken welterweight star candidly revealed that Fox texted him after one of his fights.
“After one of my fights, she actually messaged me,” Covington recalled. “She was just like, ‘Colby, you’re my favorite UFC bad guy.'”
The former interim welterweight title holder went on to express his surprise, saying, “From f***ing idolizing her, thinking she’s beautiful, she’s the one in my DMs first.”
Neon then playfully asked the UFC fighter to read Fox’s messages aloud.
“Rooting for you tonight,” Fox had written. “You’re my favorite UFC bad guy since Chael [Sonnen]. It’s probably hard to keep up that character all the time when you’re naturally a sensitive, sweet person.”
“It’s worth it,” the text continued. “You’re so funny and talented, you deserve to be a superstar.”
Covington was asked in the video if he had shared this secret with anyone previously, to which he replied with a classic line, “I don’t like to kiss and tell.”
