Also what's with these comments that Laraque needed to go out and prove anything? He has been the champ forever. People have to beat the champ not the other way around.

Laraque clearly isn't the same fighter he was in the late 90's and early 2000's. He was one of my biggest favorite's when he first came into the league, he was willing to trade punches with anyone, including
Tony Twist and
Stu Grimson. Now, him and Stortini hold the title for the most boring fighter in the league. A lot of his fights now are boring hugfests, and anytime someone gets the upperhand, or it may appear to get the upperhand, he quickly goes for the takedown. He's been beaten before, he's not invincible. He's not the champ.
