not saying MOND is correct, but the list of predictions it made without fine-tuning are stunning:

- keplerian rotation curves ("no dark matter") in elliptical and lenticular galaxies

- EFE (a group tried to find evidence against EFE and found it instead)

- early galaxies in the universe

- renzo's rule

- keplerian descent in the milky way (due to the effects of the magellanic clouds)

There's also explaining the tully-fisher relation, which is a post-hoc rationalization, so not really a prediction, but the model wasn't fine tuned to obtain the exact numerical solution.
