Former double champion Conor McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest superstar in the history of UFC. The Irish fighter has achieved everything that the sport of MMA has to offer, and has millions of fans all over the world. After his leg injury, ‘The Notorious’ has been out of action for three years. However, McGregor’s influence among the young fighters remain undeniable.
Other than his antics, the Irish superstar is also known for his accurate predictions, hence the name ‘Mystic Mac.’ Recently, at UFC Vegas 104, one of the fighters trained by McGregor did exactly what the veteran had predicted. Carlos Vera was in McGregor’s team at the TUF season 31, and recently beat his opponent, Josias Musasa, via a brutal knee strike.
Since then, an old video of McGregor with Vera has gone viral where ‘The Notorious’ predicted the same. It seems like being an expert knockout artist, McGregor realized Vera’s strength before anyone else. At TUF 31, McGregor was the coach and went against Michael Chandler‘s team. Vera didn’t win the tournament, but has had a good start to his UFC tenure.

After the season ended, fans expected McGregor and Chandler to fight, but McGregor’s injury caused repeated delays, preventing the matchup. Chandler spent nearly two years waiting for his ‘red panty night,’ but instead, he returned at UFC 309, suffering a tough loss to Charles Oliveira. His patience proved costly, leaving fans wondering what could have happened differently in his career.
McGregor, on the other hand, has completely stepped away from fighting, shifting his focus toward new ventures outside the Octagon. Recently, he visited the White House, discussing the possibility of running for President of Ireland, sparking curiosity among fans. It will be interesting to see if ‘Mystic Mac’ is serious or just creating more headlines for attention.
Top ‘Mystic Mac’ moments from Conor McGregor
Since his debut in the UFC, Conor McGregor has been a man of superior confidence and aura. The Irishman believed in his skill set, and used it to predict his fights. This justified his name ‘Mystic Mac’, and there are various incidents that proved this.
Before fighting a young Dustin Poirier at UFC 178, McGregor confidently predicted a first-round knockout. He delivered it with a left-hand finish in under two minutes, starting a rivalry that is still relevant. Leading up to UFC 194, McGregor claimed Jose Aldo would overextend, and he would counter. He knocked Aldo out in 13 seconds, stunning fans in one of the most iconic moments of UFC history.
Against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, McGregor foresaw a second-round finish, overcoming early wrestling pressure before securing a TKO victory as predicted. He repeatedly declared he would become a two-division champion, making history at UFC 205 by knocking out Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt.
Facing Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, McGregor confidently stated he would win in under a minute. He delivered, finishing Cerrone in 40 seconds. As expected, not all his predictions have come true, but his accuracy in calling major victories solidified his reputation.
Conor McGregor’s fall from grace
Conor McGregor‘s downfall began after his 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, shifting his focus away from MMA competition. He returned to the UFC in 2018, but suffered a brutal loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, in the biggest fight in UFC history. Outside the cage, legal troubles and controversies tarnished his image, leading to multiple arrests and allegations of violent behavior.
Despite brief comebacks, inactivity and lack of discipline led to inconsistent performances, including knockout loss and leg injury. Distractions from business ventures further diminished his competitive edge, making his former dominance a distant memory. UFC CEO Dana White, who was previously positive, now doesn’t have any idea of McGregor’s comeback.
