Is there such thing as luck in Mixed Martial Arts?
Yes

Now I know most people are thinking Luck is not a factor in MMA because usually whoever wins was because he was a better fighter and not bcz of luck. Well let’s think about things for a minute. Yes luck may not be a factor when it comes down too it in a fight, but Luck is definetely a factor in Mixed Martial Arts, And here’s why………

Well when it comes down too it in the octagon I agree that Yes luck is not a factor. But before that match happens is where Luck indeed takes place. Now before I begin let’s take a look at the definition of Luck.

Luck is a chance happening, or that which happens beyond a person's control. Luck can be good or bad.

Now based on that definition luck is what occurs beyond a persons control. Now in MMA there’s one thing that definition reminds me of and that’s the many injuries that happen in Mixed Martial Arts. Now injuries can definetely be a sad thing it stops the fighter with an injury dead in his tracks which in my opinion is bad luck. But there’s also that fighters replacement, say that certain fighter out with the injury had a title shot. Whoever replaces that fighter will now be getting that title shot. So the replacement got struck with good luck and is now getting a title shot. This happens often is the world of Mixed Martial arts and now I’ll give you some cases where injuries or other circumstances beyong a person’s control benefited greatly for that fighters replacement.

UFC 81: Well everyone knows the situation between Dana White & Randy Couture. Couture the UFC Heavyweight at that time wanted too fight former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko. So because Fedor signed with another company Randy refused too defend his title until he got what he wanted a fight with Fedor. So because of this Dana needed a Interim Heavyweight Champion until the situation with Randy gets resolved. So this is where luck comes in both Antonio Nogeuira Noguira & Tim Sylvia where too fight at UFC 81 for the Interim Heavyweight Championship. Nogueira eventually won the match and captued the Interim Heavyweight Championship. So with the Couture situation he got lucky too be in the match as from what I’ve seen it what supposed too be a rematch between Couture and Sylvia.

UFC 63: Now George St. Pierre coming fresh off a win against BJ Penn was going to get the next Welterweight Title shot against Matt Hughes. But a injury side tracked those title hopes so the guy he beat too get the title shot BJ Penn would get the shot instead being the number two contender. Now Penn did not win the fight but he was lucky enough too get a title shot as it was originally supposed too be GSP.

UFC 79: What was original supposed too be a blockbuster main event between Matt Serra and Matt Hughes for the Welterweight Champhionship was changed due to injury to Matt serra. George St. Pierre was slotted as the replacement for Matt Serra. He would know face Matt Hughes for the Interim Welterweight Championship. The winner of this match would also go on to face Serra for the Welterweight Title at UFC 83. George St. Pierre would go on too defeat Hughes in impressive fashion at UFC 79. He would then defeat Serra for the title belt at 83. So due too Matt serra’s injury George st. Pierre got the oppurtunity to fight for The interim Welterteight Champion and then the UFC Welterwweight Championship. But Matt Hughes was struck with Bad Luck as he lost too George St. Pierre when he could of beaten Serra and claim the Welterweight Title.

So as you can see these are three events out of many that where affected by Luck. So in closing you can see clearly see Luck is indeed a focus in the Mixed Martial Arts Organization. Fighting may be revolved around skill, but what happens before the fight injurie and contracts wise is totally up too luck. So this is my debate I wish luck to both Nickster. & RYAN with there debates, Good Evening Everyone.
