"It's worth it. You're so funny and talented, you deserve to be a superstar." There isn't any notification as to when the message was sent, but he started his UFC career in 2014. He won seven fights in a row between 2016 and 2019, winning his first title with the organisation by defeating Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 255.

He was at UFC 314 at the weekend. The Brit was in the middle of an interview when 'Chaos' started taunting him. The American repeatedly criticised the Liverpudlian for consistently fighting opponents who are on losing streaks.

Megan has recently welcomed her child with Machine Gun Kelly. While the pair are no longer an item. they are said to be "in a good place" in their relationship.

MGK announced the birth of his newborn daughter on social media in March, sharing a black and white video of him gently stroking her hand as she clutched his finger. He wrote on the post: "She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed." In the background, fans could hear an instrumental song that the musician had composed with close pal and rocker Travis Barker.

According to sources close to Megan, 38, the duo are "so happy to be parents together". That is despite Megan calling time on their four year relationship prior to the little girl's brith.

A source told US Weekly: "No matter how they’ve felt about each other, they have always wanted to have a child together. They have both been communicating and are in a good place."

The duo had been set to marry each other after the rapper proposed in 2022. He had popped the question during a romantic trip to Puerto Rico. At the time, Megan could not contain her excitement as she gushed to her followers: "In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic."

She added: "We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time." She then added that they had been "intoxicated off of the love" and "laughed more than [she] ever imagined possible."

However, their on-and-off relationship appeared to come to a final stop saying in March last year, while on the Call Her Daddy podcast, that rumours of her engagement being called off were in fact true.

The Mirror has approached Megan's representatives for comment.
