Love Story of Megan Olivi and Joseph Benavidez
Megan Olivi first met Joseph Benavidez in the Mandalay Bay lobby in 2009. She was there with her two best friends, and Joseph was there with some other fighters. “We were cute girls, they were cute dudes, and they were like, ‘Hey, you want to come to Tryst?'” she recalls. They eventually end up at a popular Las Vegas nightclub, where Megan and Joseph begin talking.
Throughout the night, the pair conversed and brought up the popular comedian/actor Will Ferrell. Things gradually improved between them, and they began communicating more frequently via Skype and phone. Despite the fact that they were separated by a long distance, they maintained their relationship.
Benavidez proposed in 2014, and the answer was obviously YES! They married the following year, in 2015, and are now living happily ever after.
