Most UFC fighters are naturally outspoken and openly express their feelings. Sean Strickland is one such fighter who doesn’t hold back his opinions. The former UFC middleweight champion has even faced backlash for his unapologetic nature. Recently, Megan Fox, a Hollywood A-lister, reached out to him with a direct message (DM) after he made a controversial statement.
During a recent appearance on MMA coach Eric Nicksick’s podcast, the outspoken Strickland revealed that Fox had reached out to him. But this was not to gush over his fighting skills or muscular physique but to address his controversial remarks and his past comments. Strickland’s words against the LGBTQ+ community which Fox felt had contributed to her own children being bullied online.
I’m a fan of Megan…So she hit me up. The message was actually kind of f**ked up. It was more like ‘hey my kids get bullied and I get bullied online because you said they are tranny. They’re not trans. They wanna dress like rock stars’. I’m sorry Megan I’m gonna shut the f**k up about it but you still drink blood and sh*t.

Moreover, Strickland also highlighted Megan Fox and her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly’s public appearance. Per the UFC fighter, Kelly has a weird dressing sense whom he once met at a PowerSlap event. Interestingly, both Strickland and the American rapper even had a verbal altercation at the event. However, this is not the first time when the MGK had an altercation with a UFC fighter.
Once, UFC star Conor McGregor also seemed to have an ugly altercation with MGK. The altercation took place at the MTV Video Music Awards where McGregor approached Fox for a picture. However, the rapper doesn’t seem to like that idea and shoves away the Irishman resulting in chaos at the event.
Strickland was the most recent fighter with whom Megan Fox witnessed her boyfriend clash. Although the former UFC middleweight champion doesn’t like the rapper, he often heaped high praises on the actress. Not only that Strickland also accepts fanboying Fox.
