There's still plenty of fallout in the wake of Conor McGregor's loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, but this video of McGregor's word-for-word prediction of how the fight would go down is really creepy.

Obviously, when McGregor predicted what would happen, he anticipated these things happening to Diaz. However, as you can see in the clip above, it was Nate Diaz who made the heel a weapon, landed repeated uppercuts and nailed McGregor with body shots.

In an interview occurring before the match, seen at the beginning of this video, McGregor said,

I also would like to dominate him on the mat. I think his jiu-jitsu is overrated. I think he has no positional understanding at all. He will abandon position and end up on his back, or end up in a scramble. I feel, if he is still conscious when he hits the deck, I will crush his hips, pass his guard and mount him. And then, either pound him out or choke him.

Uhhhh?? Is anyone else the least bit spooked by this?
