How is it lucky for me if you fuck up?

It's not luck, goddamnit. YOU FUCKED UP. You Fucked Up. You meant to do something, then fucked up in the actual execution part. That was a mistake ON YOUR PART. It wasn't luck on my part. Fuck. FUCK. I practiced, performed, and executed exactly how I envisioned it a million times before. Fights are won on mistakes. Fighters practice not to fuck up during a fight, to stick to the game plan. Cerrone v. Diaz is a textbook example of deviating from the game plan. When fighters get dinged, they forget the entire strategy. It has everything to do with human physiology, not luck...

What's not lucky about someone throwing a wild punch with their head down not even looking at the opponent and the other person moving into the punch and getting knocked out...how is that anything but luck...that's not what happen to Aldo but it happens a lot, and is pure luck

Alvarez, Aldo, Max, Mendes, Nate.. Come on, right? Aldo should have been the fight everyone quit questioning McGregor's ability to fight. He beat a guy who was undefeated for something like 10 years - the only featherweight champ in the UFC at the time, since its inception into the weight classes. His rise was epic and unprecedented, that's why he's so famous today and why he's going to fight Mayweather for tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

I think the idea of 'luck' is strange in a combat sport. I forget which fighter I heard this from, wish I could remember to give him credit, but he said if you're fighting, and the entire time you're in the cage, you're trying to knock your opponent out. If you throw a haymaker that just happens to land on the button and KOs the guy, it wasn't because of luck. You threw that punch with the intention of landing on target. It landed on target. What is lucky about that?

Watch the fight again. There was no wild punch, it was a perfect counter to Aldo's lazy right hand feint. Watch how low aldo's right hand is when it's coming back, then watch McGregors hips turn, he's on the ball of his back foot, and his whole body pivots throwing that punch and it landed clean with all aldo's weight lunging forward. It had nothing to do with luck and more to do with aldo being sloppy, emotional, over aggressive, and he paid for it. Would people call it luck if it happened in the fourth round instead of the first? CM get's in people's head long before they fight, the only person he couldn't do that to beat him. It's very similar to what Silva does fighting with his hands down by his side or Roy Jones Jr. with his hands behind his back which CM actually did against Alvarez.

I didn't say Aldo was knocked out by just luck, he did set up a nice counter but like I said a inch off and that wouldn't have been a KO
