MMA fighter predicted exact time of KO four days before winning fight

Mixed martial artist Cody Law predicted the time of his latest KO to the very second.

Law took on James Adcock on the prelim card at Bellator 276 on Saturday night and stopped his rival in the opening round.

It was then revealed that he had written down "Law def Adcock via KO Rd 1 - 1:17" in his hotel four days before walking to the cage- and Law duly delivered.

"I wrote that down on Tuesday night," he said. "Every fight week I come into the hotel and there just happens to be a tablet with a pen and I write down what I want to happen and it happens.

"Even leading up to this fight I was writing things down and they were happening.

"I wanted to finish it on the feet, even if he took it to the ground I wanted to separate and stay on the feet.

"I was hoping for the high kick to be the one that pot him away but I've just got it keep getting better

"I know i have enough power to put him out so I just need to work on putting a little bit more behind it in the fight."

Adcock had been named as a replacement opponent for the unbeaten Law and was soon out of his depth.

He was rocked by punches in the opening stages and then by a head kick which left him dazed.

Law dropped his opponent with a right hand and then walked off, leaving the referee to stop the fight.

In the main event, Adam Borics defeated Mads Burnell on points to move closer to a featherweight title shot.

“Look I am not even breathing! The hard work pays off guys! I am next," he said. “I wanted to kick more, If I could have gotten two more calf kicks in, I think I could have taken him down. Mads is a tough guy."

And in the co-main event, light-heavyweight Phil Davis outpointed Julius Anglickas before ruling out a move up a division.

"What’s next for me is an ice bath, two ibuprofens and we’ll go from there," he said.

"I’d have to go up to heavyweight to fight [Ryan] Bader, and I’d hate to say it - but he looks pretty unstoppable at heavyweight. I’m just going to look to beat whoever they put in front of me."
