"My prediction for the McGregor-Poirier fight is that I think McGregor will win this time," Fury said. Both Fury and McGregor could be set for huge title bouts if they earn trilogy wins in Las Vegas this month. The Irishman is expected to face newly-crowned champion Charles Oliveira if he can get through Poirier at UFC 264, likely later this year. But bookmakers are struggling to split McGregor and Poirier, with the American a slight favourite over his Irish rival given their 1-1 record against each other.
