It was an ending no one expected, but one man apparently guessed what would happen. The main event featured a third fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, and it sure brought the entertainment value. Poirier defeated McGregor on Saturday for the second time in three fights, and McGregor had to bow out with a pretty nasty injury.

The fight ended pretty quickly when McGregor landed awkwardly on his leg at the end of the first round, appearing to have broken a bone.

A random UFC fan completely predicted the outcome of the fight. Prior to the fight at 10:15 p.m. EST, they tweeted that McGregor was going to break his leg.
