It's a bit of both. He might have been hoping to land a punch like that but he still needed the opportunity to be there.

it wasn't lucky...it was all calculated...including stepping on PAC's foot so he can get a more direct shot

Was it a lucky punch? Yes, in a sense, because it came at a moment when JMM was getting tagged and had his nose busted up. So that punch probably saved the fight for him.
Was it planned? Yes, he had landed it before. He knew when/where to throw it. He saw the opening and let his hands go.
So it was a lucky punch, because of the circumstances at the time that it landed, but it was also the product of skill and timing.
