Top 5 times that "Mystic Mac" Conor McGregor got his predictions wrong

#4 UFC Fight Night 59: McGregor vs. Siver

McGregor couldn’t get this one right

This fight for the Irishman was said to be his gateway to a confirmed shot at Jose Aldo for the featherweight title.

Being only his fifth fight in the UFC, that confirmation didn’t sit well with plenty of MMA purists, but McGregor kept his predictions and clean victories coming with the German as his next obstacle to tackle. In this fight, McGregor predicted that he didn’t see Siver making it past the first minute with him in the cage.

Although the outcome of the fight was a brutal loss for Siver, McGregor was actually off the mark again with this prediction.

The 28-year-old dictated the pace and control of the fight the entire time, but instead of getting finished within one minute, Siver held out and was finally dropped halfway through the second round with a left hand by McGregor, he was then finished him with strikes.

Regardless of his prediction being wrong, it was this performance that confirmed McGregor’s next fight and eventual claim to the featherweight title.
