UFC: 5 Power Couples That Are Still Going Strong (And 5 That Didn’t Last)

9. Going Strong: Joseph Benavidez & Megan Olivi

Megan Olivi has become one of the sport's most recognized reporters. She also happens to be the wife of former UFC title challenger Joseph Benavidez. Benavidez is one of the top flyweights in the world and even has a win over current champ, Henry Cejudo.

Olivi and the flyweight contender met back in 2009 and were initially just friends. Over time, Benavidez was able to fight his way out of the friend zone and eventually marry the former Ultimate Insider host. The couple officially tied the knot in 2015 in "The Fight Capital Of The World," Las Vegas, Nevada.

They remain happily married and live with their dog, Benny —who has become something of an internet star in his own right.
