Top 5 UFC predictions that made everyone fear the 'Chael curse'

#4. UFC 259: Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson

Amanda Nunes dominated Megan Anderson at UFC 259. UFC 257 Poirier v McGregor: Weigh-Ins

UFC double champ Amanda Nunes is often considered the best female mixed martial artist of all time. She held an 11-fight winning streak and was the favorite to win against Anderson. But some, like Chael Sonnen, had their doubts.

In his prediction video, Sonnen argued that Megan Anderson had a size advantage over Amanda Nunes. He also pointed to Anderson's durability and punching power.

However, on fight night, Nunes dominated Anderson. She finished Anderson inside the first round via armbar. 'The Lioness' overwhelmed the taller fighter, something Sonnen said she would have difficulty doing.

With her win, Nunes cleaned out the UFC women's featherweight roster.

#3. UFC 257: Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 2

Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2 was a mammoth event.

Conor McGregor v Dustin Poirier 2 was huge. The Irishman wanted to make a big comeback, and Poirier wanted redemption. The bout became the third-highest selling PPV event in UFC history.

Sonnen made his prediction before the fight and picked Conor McGregor. He emphasized that 'The Notorious' had beaten Poirier with ease the first time. He also said that McGregor would be more aggressive.

However, that was not the case. After having initial success, McGregor soon started to fade. Poirier's leg kicks compromised his movement in round two. 'The Diamond' knocked McGregor out with a flurry of punches at the end of the round.

The Chael curse struck again, and this time the victim was UFC's most popular fighter.
