Sean Strickland says Megan Fox reached out over his trans comments involving her children: "Actually kind of f**ked up"

Every time former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland opens his mouth, be sure to see a long list of people reacting to whatever he says - from fans, fellow fighters, and even celebrities. The often-controversial fighter is known for being unapologetically outspoken about his beliefs.

During a recent appearance on MMA coach Eric Nicsick's podcast, 'Tarzan' revealed that Hollywood A-list star Megan Fox messaged him - but not for the reasons everyone might assume. As it turned out, Fox got offended by Strickland's words against the LGBTQ+ community and made him aware of it.

Speaking to Nicksick, Strickland said:

"Megan Fox DM'd me once. It wasn't that kind of DM. 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 coz you said some [expetive]. 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. You still do a lot of weird sh*t Megan."

Strickland then inferred that the beef may have been predicated by his tense altercation with Fox's ex-fiance Machine Gun Kelly. 'Tarzan' criticized 'MGK's' outfit and called him a 'vampire' during a Power Slap event.

Digging more into X and YouTube, you can pin-point Megan Fox's message as a response to one or a few Sean Strickland LGBTQ comments in the past. With the former UFC middleweight champ's track record online, you can't be sure which one has offended who at which time.

The most recent one of note we could find was this expletive-filled rant during a UFC media day seven months ago, where Strickland said some strong words to an LGBTQ-ally reporter:

"10 years ago, to be trans was a mental f**king illness. And now all of a sudden people like you have f**king weasled your way in the world. You are an infection. You are the definition of weakness. Everything that is wrong with the world is because of f**king you."

As for the time Strickland met Fox's former fiance Machine Gun Kelly, it happened in February of this year during a Power Slap event. Strickland called 'MGK' a weirdo to his face due to his rather eccentric outfit. The American recording artist seemed to have not appreciated it.
