UFC welterweight star Colby Covington revealed that movie star Megan Fox had once sent her a direct message to express her support.
Covington, known for his brash persona and verbal antics, recently appeared in a video with streamer Neon.
In the video, the former interim welterweight title holder shared how 'My whole life, the baddest b****, I always thought it was Megan Fox.'
'After one of my fights, she messaged me,' Chaos continued. 'She was just like, 'Colby, you're my favorite UFC bad guy.''
'I went from f***ing idolizing her, thinking she's beautiful, she's in my DMs first,' he continued while showing Neon the thread on his phone.
Neon then asked to read the message aloud, which Covington said yes to.
Former UFC title challenger Colby Covington revealed that Megan Fox slid into his DMs
'Rooting for you tonight,' Fox wrote. '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 message continued. 'You're so funny and talented, you deserve to be a superstar.'
When asked if he ever told anybody of the DM, Covington said 'I don't like to kiss and tell.'
Covington joined the UFC ranks in 2014 and went on an incredible seven-fight win streak from 2016-2019. He won his first UFC title by beating Rafael Dos Anjos for the interim belt at UFC 255.
From there the American 3-4 with wins over Robbie Lawler, Tyron Woodley, and Jorge Masvidal.
He lost all three of his undisputed title challenges, twice to Kamaru Usman and once to Leon Edwards. A loss to Joaquim Buckley in December moved Chaos to a 17-5-0 record.
