McGregor predicted he'll knock out Poirier "inside of 60 seconds." If you believe him, betting lines are available.

If McGregor is right — and he was his last time out against Donald Cerrone — a bettor can get +195 for a win in the first round. That covers submissions as well. McGregor stopped Poirier 1:57 into the first round of their last fight.
Poirier has only been finished twice since then — a first-round knockout loss to Michael Johnson in 2016 and a third-round submission defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2019.
Each of Poirier's last two wins have come via decision, one over Dan Hooker and another against Max Holloway. His last finish was a second-round TKO win against Eddie Alvarez in 2018.
Since fighting three times in 2016, McGregor's only appeared in the Octagon twice — a 40-second KO win over Cerrone and a fourth-round submission against Nurmagomedov.

Not sure of the round but picturing how this one ends? Winning method is another avenue to get a wager down.
The most likely outcome according to the odds is a McGregor KO, which is how 19 of his 22 wins have ended. He has just one submission win and two decision victories.
The value on Poirier could be a submission win. McGregor's only two losses in the UFC are via submission, and "The Diamond" has won seven times by submission. Most of those were prior to the UFC, but he did submit Anthony Pettis in 2017.
