Some of you may be familiar with this "curse" that everyone talks about. Many of you may have read this before. I'm looking at the Eminem Curse, which for those of you unfamiliar with it, is the curse where UFC (no significant data for other orgs) fighters that enter to an Eminem song do not do well in their fights. So, I've collected information from all over the internet as well as watching old events to catch intro songs and put together this list.

So, from the data I have to work with, from Sherdog's Walkmen, FighterXFashion, MMAFighting.com, MSN/Fox Sports, and MMAJunkie's Fight Tracks, fighters walking in to Eminem are now a combined 25-42-1 in the Octagon. If you have more that I don't have posted, I'll update this list as the events progress. I've been working on this list since 2012.

As of 6/7/2015, no fighter has won a fight when they enter to the track Lose Yourself. They are 0-8 with that song behind them. The moral of the story: Don't walk in to a fight with the song Lose Yourself playing behind you. As of the posting of this thread, fighters have roughly a 38% win percentage when entering to an Eminem song. Don't tempt fate, it could be the difference between a glorious win and a bitter defeat.
