Evolving Neer takes new approach to lay-and-prayers ahead of UFC on FX 3

SUNRISE, Fla. – Josh Neer has gotten over his hatred of so-called “lay and pray” artists.

Now, he’s just determined to stop them – and punch them in the face.

That’s the plan against his next opponent, Mike Pyle, whom he believes will try to take him down when they meet at UFC
on FX 3, which takes place Friday at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise,
Fla.
