UFC middleweight contender Sean Strickland revealed that Megan Fox slid in his direct messages.
However, the former 185lb champion clarified that the famous actress called him out for making fun of her children and boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly's fashion sense.
On an episode of the Versus Us podcast with Eric Nicksick, Strickland told the story of his back and forth with Fox. He also revealed that he fantasized about the Transformers leading lady as a kid.
'Megan Fox DM'd me,' Strickland said. 'It wasn't that kind of DM. I'm a fan of Megan. How many times have I jerked off to you in Transformers as a kid?
'All f****** day long. Everyone watching this has jerked off at least once to Megan Fox.'

'So she hit me up and I was like: 'Fame level reached.' And the message was actually kinda f***** up. It was more like: 'Hey, my kids get bullied and I get bullied online because you said they're tranny.' And 'they're not trans, they wanna dress like rock stars.''
And I'm just, like: 'Sorry Megan, I'll shut the f*** up about it.' But I'm like: 'You still drink blood and s***, you still do a lot of weird s***, Megan.''
There is a point where I shouldn't be making fun of your f****** kids, I get it. But it's more MGK, bro. This motherf*****, dude.'
Strickland then narrated how an altercation between him and the rapper-turned-singer from Cleveland unfolded at a Power Slap event in Las Vegas.

The run-in happened in February, as UFC and Power Slap chief Dana White brought stars to witness his latest venture in slap fighting. Strickland noted how his relationship with a friend named 'Dingo' – who works for Monster – soured after he introduced him to MGK.
'These slap fights, they're all just influencer jerk-offs,' Strickland said. 'So Dingo's like 'Hey I want you to meet this guy.' He's wearing, like, a vampire trench coat, has a f****** purse, painted nails, and Dingo, you know me, dude. Why would you do this? Why would you set me up?'
'And I'm just looking at him like… I'm trying to process, and I think I just said 'What the f***. Like, are you a f****** gay vampire?'

'And the way he looked at me, it wasn't funny. If he would have said something funny, like: 'You look like a white trash hillbilly,' I would have been like [shrugs hand]. The way he looked at me was such disgust, that I was like, there's a little voice inside of my head that said: 'We're fighting.' And then my girl got involved and broke us up.'
Following the event, White claimed you 'can't bring Sean Strickland around any other human beings' due to hot-headed tendencies and tactless verbal approach.
After losing his middleweight title to Dricus Du Plessis in January, Strickland bounced back with a win over Paulo Costa in June.
With the win, he set himself up for a rematch with the South African champion – who defended the belt for the first time against Israel Adesanya on Saturday.
