Luckiest UFC fighter

[Dagestanaev]

Is Islam Machachev...

Shavkat gets injured
Khamzat moves up
UFC feeding him grandpa Uzman
Arman being denied getting shot at Islam
Volk is a midget
Can use Khabib's excuse to quit fighting when things get hot
UFC protecting him from Morales or Prates
Based his start on the association with Khabib

Lucky Luke

Really? You mean, Islam Makhachev is luckier than Mackenzie Dern, who lost many fights yet still became champion because Weili Zhang, whom Dern could never beat, gave up her title? Or luckier than Jessica Andrade, who became champion by slamming Rose on her head?

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

modern era? Poatan.

did he answer the call? yes.

was he gifted multiple match ups that played into his strengths? yes.

islam def received another lay up with that volk rematch.

but he did fight the WW best at that time and won easily.

The luckiest UFC fighter is Tiki "they stopped it because of a cut" Ghosn. Despite being 0-4 in the UFC and the mug meant for radio, he bagged a prime Arianny Celeste

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Gotta be Jon by a mile (from the hit and run)

He's avoided prison as many times as he's won a title fight, often both over the same weekend

 

[TheNewGame]

Topuria and Pereira by far.

-Pereira fast tracked at MW with favorable matchups, then was about to get finished by Izzy in the first round, saved by the bell.
-Moves to a division filled with mediocre strikers without any legit wrestling.
-Gets debatable split decision against 40 year old Jan which gave him the titleshot.

-Topuria fights Volk coming off a brutal headkick KO
-Then fights Max at FW just after Max bulked up for LW
-He fights Volk, Max, and Oliveira all when they're mid 30s with 30+ pro fights

[Unheralded Truth]

OP isn't wrong. I agree completely with the points, but could also agree with those saying Pereira.

The thing with Alex, though, is that he at least had done something in kickboxing before. So his privilege is conformable.

With Islam it's like... how does he keep dodging all these bullets? Lol.

Whoa, what about Austin Vanderford?

I'm not belittling Andrade or her acconplishments. She's a great female mma fighter and former champion. But in terms of that particular fight against Rose, I believe that that slam which got her the win was a fluke, and luck did contribute to her victory that night.

More like the bullets are dodging him, it's not his fault all his opponents get injured
