Technique consisting of taking the opponent to the ground and stalling the fight by lying on top without striking or looking to advance position, with the sole purpose of running out the clock for as long as possible.
« The lean and pray, for me the inventor is Dan Severn, that solid mustachioed wrestler who kind of invented this technique where he would take the guy down and stall. So it's a bit of a derogatory term in the sport. »
