I'm just re-posting this... and don't mean to be out of line... but I'd just like my opinion to be heard I guess...
In response to Sean McCorkle's thread entitled:
King Mo.....A master's class in Lay and Pray
I respect his and everyone's opinion... but this is what I posted... (and i don't really mean screw everyone... when i say that... so sorry about that)... just trying to make a point...
.......
GSP as of late much?
Kevin Randleman vs. Bas
Josh Koscheck (early)
Dan Severn
I could go on and on...
wrestling is part of the sport...
if you cannot DEAL with it then you LOSE.....
I for one... do not care if you LAY 'n' PRAY ....
it sucks to watch, but i'm a purist.... go for the WIN
simple as that...
I MIGHT HATE GSP's latest performances.... but he wins...
so good for him....
screw anyone who thinks otherwise because this is not "ENTERTAINMENT" (at least not at it's root). IT'S FIGHTING STYLES COMPETING TO SEE WHICH ONE IS BETTER (OR WHO IS BETTER).
and THAT is why i love MMA...
if that EA MMA game has "no elbows" I'd rather stab my eyes than try and play that game
LnP sucks. It's the same thing as stalling dude....its not a sport if all you are doing is humping a guys leg.
Lay and Pray = THE FIGHTER I WANTED TO WIN CAN'T WRESTLE.
fuck lay n pray...any retard can win that way
RyannVonDoom - Mo won a wrestling match, Mousasi won the fight.
Cool story bro
Pink Bunkadoo - lay and pray is sitting in someone's guard with your head in their balls, throwing one punch every thirty seconds. I have not seen true lay and pray in a long time. Lay and pray is NOT when someone is actively trying to improve position. You might not like it, but it's not fucking lay and pray. Christ I wish people would stop with that already. Go watch fucking tough man.
This. The term Lay and Pray gets waaaayyy overused. People basically throw it out there anytime a wrestler wins.
JudOWNED - This. The term Lay and Pray gets waaaayyy overused. People basically throw it out there anytime a wrestler wins.or when Antonio McKee is fighting... King of the Lay n' Pray
Another reason why Pride was the best org ever.
If you LNPed you lost.
Just ask Arona(vs Silva 2)
Or Ricco(vs. Big Nog)
American judges dont understand MMA yet.

I dont like watching it but its the guy who is being laid on who has the responsibility of getting up or not getting taken down. Every sport has a team that likes to slow the action down to have a better chance of winning. The down side for a fighter who wins this way is that people dont want to see him fight; however, he should have the option of doing it if thats the only way he can win.
No stand ups EVA!!!
