So, not much has really changed since the weigh-ins. Poirier is still holding strong as the betting favorite, sporting a moneyline as low as -125. As for McGregor, his underdog tag can be found as high as +121 on some sites. With no news there, let’s go ahead and take a gander at some of the prop bets for this trilogy tussle.
I think it’s almost everyone’s natural reaction to expect this one to end early. The first-two did, so why would this one be any different?
