Jon Anik has decided to up the ante while making predictions for the upcoming UFC 196 main event bout between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. According to the UFC commentator, he will get the first tattoo of his life if his pick is wrong.

"I'm going to say it here for the masses to hear. I will get the area code '209' tattooed on the inside of my forearm, if Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor," he said on the Anik and Florian Podcast. "I got Conor in Round 1."

As for why he's picking McGregor to win early, Anik says the late notice will be a huge factor.

"I got Conor McGregor, I got him by first round knockout or TKO," he said. "I'm just not convinced, as much as you know I love these Diaz brothers, that Nate is in championship shape. And I think cardio has always been a big key to his style, to his success."

"One thing you know about Conor McGregor, is that he is most definitely in championship condition. I think he's the far more lethal striker."

The last time Anik had a tattoo bet was when he picked Ronda Rousey to beat Bethe Correia. He says he was truly fortunate there wasn't an upset that night, but doesn't think it would be too bad if it happens on Saturday.

"I like the Diaz brothers, so I would actually be okay throwing that 209 on the forearm. But yes, I do think it's a huge ask for Nate Diaz, so I will get my first tattoo of my life at 37-years-old if Conor McGregor loses Saturday."

Diaz is currently a +410 underdog, meaning bookmakers give about a 19.6% chance that Anik gets inked.
