Conor McGregor is bringing back his ‘Mystic Mac’ predictions for The White House.
After recently dropping out of the presidential race in Ireland, the UFC superstar is working towards his highly-anticipated return to the Octagon.
McGregor, 37, hasn’t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler last summer at UFC 303 but had to pull out of the bout due to a broken pinky toe.
Despite his withdrawal, UFC CEO Dana White trusts ‘The Notorious’ to potentially headline the UFC’s White House event, unlike Jon Jones, who he’s a ‘little more skeptical’ about.
Just days ago, McGregor announced he’d be fighting Chandler at The White House, already placing his pick for how the fight goes.
Conor McGregor makes early prediction for Michael Chandler fight
McGregor has been spot-on with his pre-fight predictions in the past.
That’s not to say McGregor was always right, but the Irishman has famously predicted the round he’d knock out his opponents in, on multiple occasions.
McGregor says he’s got a round in mind for former Bellator champion Chandler.
“Mystic Mac Prediction: McGregor KO win, 1st round,” McGregor wrote on X.
“UFC White House,” McGregor added.
14 of McGregor’s 19 knockout wins have come in the first round.
Chandler is coming off a third-round TKO loss to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314. The 39-year-old has been stopped by strikes five times in his 33-fight career.
Conor McGregor’s successful history of ‘Mystic Mac’ predictions
McGregor once said people call him ‘Mystic Mac’ because he ‘predicts these things’.
Prior to his first fight with Dustin Poirier, McGregor claimed he would stop ‘The Diamond’ in round 1 and that’s what he did at UFC 178 in 2014.
McGregor was also correct in saying Jose Aldo wouldn’t last a round with him, as McGregor knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194 the following year.
McGregor chose right once again when he TKO’ed Eddie Alvarez in two rounds at UFC 205 in 2016 just as he said he would.
