To be brutally honest, I was joking about the 'lay and pray'. I know he stands and pretty much picks off his opponent with punches, but the fact he hasn't finished anyone properly (I don't count the corner retirement of BJ Penn as a legit finish) since 2008 is kinda the reason for everyone to point and say "HE'S A SAFE FIGHTER!" Some say he lacks that killer instinct he had when he started in the UFC. I don't know, but me personally, I'm split. There are times where I find him exciting and times where I find him boring nowadays.
