Video: Leading lightweight’s UFC 196 prediction was eerily accurate

There's a lot of Captain Hindsights out there today.

Conor McGregor succumbed to his first loss since 2010 after being forced to submit by Nate Diaz in the second round of their fight at UFC 196. Despite the Dubliner being the overwhelming favourite to win the bout, you won't have to look far to find someone who knew McGregor would lose. One person who did predict the Notorious would be beaten was UFC lightweight Joe Lauzon. The American fighter gave his take in a video post to his YouTube page. Lauzon raised concerns over McGregor's decision to fight at welterweight. And that although he's a big McGregor fan, Lauzon felt "everything with Conor is 'smoke and mirrors' to disguise his left hand...  which is what he's beating everyone with." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MvfScQzrr8
