The round betting odds show that there is an expectancy that McGregor will look to finish the fight as soon as possible. The opening two rounds are the favourites for McGregor to win in. McGregor’s last two wins in the UFC have come in the opening two rounds.
He beat Cerrone in the first round in January last year, and beat Eddie Alvarez in the second round of their fight in November 2016. First round finishes have been a speciality for McGregor throughout his career, as 14 of the 22 wins that he has achieved have come in the opening round.
Over/Under Rounds
| Total Rounds | Odds |
|---|---|
| Over 2.5 Rounds | +140 |
| Under 2.5 Rounds | -190 |
There is a feeling that McGregor will look to put on a show on his big return to the octagon, and that is indicated by the under 2.5 rounds bet being the heavy favourite. However, all three of Poirier’s previous fights have gone to at least the third round, which includes the defeat he suffered against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Meanwhile, he has been taken to a decision on nine of his 33 fights.
