What is the significance of Tiresias' prophecy against Creon in 'Antigone'?

That it starts up Creon's reversal process and that it foreshadows Creon's downfall is the significance of Teiresias' prophecy against Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet sets in motion what no one else can. He prophesies that what goes around in Thebes will come back around to Creon and his family. Creon is so upset that he reverses his policy of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and Antigone's death sentence.

In what way is the prophecy of teiresias fulfilled?

The prophecy was that if Creon did not bury Polynices, his punishment of Antigone will bring a curse down on Thebes. Teiresias prophecy is fufilled by Haimon killing himself..Since Creon would not let Antigone bury her brother(Polynices),Antigone killed herself. So Haimon killed himself because he wanted to be with Antigone because the Creon would not bury the brother of Antigone.
