A high-profile and unabashed UFC warrior, Colby Covington, has revealed that actress Megan Fox once slipped into his direct messages with a warm greeting. Renowned for his brash talk and lack of restraint, Covington has famously dubbed himself the "super villain" of the UFC, indicating a disregard for offending others with his personal slights or political leanings.
Apparently, Covington's bold demeanor captivated Fox, who has consistently topped the lists of the most stunning celebrities during her tenure as an actress and model. In a recent livestream hosted by Kick streamer N3on, Covington disclosed for the very first time that Fox had allegedly reached out to him through direct messaging to voice her admiration.
"Throughout my life, I've always deemed the hottest chick to be Megan Fox. She was the one," Covington enthused. "After one of my matches, she hit me up, buddy. She said, 'Colby, you're my favorite UFC villain.' From idolizing her for her beauty, it was surreal to see her initiate a conversation with me first."
N3on then inquired if Covington could share the message on the live stream, and the 37-year-old athlete obliged.
The message purportedly stated, "Rooting for you tonight. You are my favorite UFC villain since Chael [Sonnen]. It's probably challenging to maintain that persona if you're naturally a more sensitive, sweet individual. It's worth the effort. You're hilarious and talented. You deserve to be a superstar."
Assuming the authenticity of this message, it must have been an immense ego stroke for Covington. Even though the world's ninth-ranked welterweight has suffered three losses in his last four matches and hasn't tasted victory since March 2023, the thought of Fox's message must make him feel invincible.
As for his actual combat performances, Covington last stepped into the octagon in December, where he was defeated by Joaquin Buckley via TKO in Tampa. Covington also lost a unanimous decision to Leon Edwards in December 2023 and last won at UFC 272 against Jorge Masvidal. Throughout his fighting career, Covington boasts a record of 17-5.
