I always thought it was "lay n prey"
Cool, I stand corrected.If I'm not mistaken, the Machado's gave Eddie the nickname "Twister"... because he used that move and they had never seen it before (it's called the "Guillotine" in wrestling).
I think ya gotta credit the Machado's... Rigan or Jean Jacques.
...why?
For the sake of posterity...
So that future generations will know who came up with the phrase wall n stall first?It's right in the first sentence of the OP....
Mixed-martial arts
Credited to: Howard Rosenberg, writer....................
First coined: Nov 15, 1993 - Los Angeles Times.....
Source/Reference --
L.A. Times -- "Yet a curious thing happened after the first two contests. Instead of merely gory and funny, the "Ultimate Fighting Championship" began getting interesting.
St. Louis cruiserweight boxer Art Jimmerson didn't get to throw even one punch before giving up. He was swiftly taken down and dispatched with a chokehold by jujitsu master Royce Gracie, whose family is synonymous with the sport in their native Brazil, where mixed-martial arts championships like this one are commonplace.
In the battle of 220-pound strongmen that followed, Lockeford, Calif., shootfighter Ken Shamrock looked invincible in getting tae kwon do battler Pat Smith of Denver to submit to a painful ankle twist, setting up an intriguing semifinal with the much-lighter Gracie..."

Is that who coined the phrase, really?What no love for Goldie and his "slip n rip"?
Does it pre-date Nov 15, 1993?I could be wrong but I think Jeff Blatnick was the one to officially call this sport "Mixed Martial Arts."
I think Blatnick was also the first to say "Ground and Pound." It was real early. Like one of Severn or Coleman's first few fights.
Blatnick was the man
The term "Tomato Can" is an old boxing term that goes back many decadesI´m pretty sure the term "tomato can" was coined is this forums around 2000-2002 when PRIDE set up lots of fights involving a big name against a rookie or a fighter with obvious less skills, thus things like "Wanderlei crushed that tomato can Matsui...", now the term is shortened to "can"
