MMA Mania put up this video of UFC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo trying on suits for his upcoming UFC 129 press conference. Aldo, who looks like he’s “moving on up” like George Jefferson, has an obvious great sense of humor, laughing at himself in the mirror while trying on hats and suits. It’s quite a laugh he’s got, too. We’d make fun of him for it, but I’m sure a long time ago, kids on the school playground learned not to do that and we certainly know better, as well. Watch the video of a giggling Aldo below:

Now that was the Anderson Silva we’ve been wanting to see.

After four straight lackluster defenses of his middleweight title, Silva knocked out Vitor Belfort with a front kick to the chin that has to go down as one of the most incredible knockouts we’ve seen in the sport. But part of what makes Silva amazing is that it might not have even been the most incredible knockout of his career: I’m still partial to the stunning elbow he used to knock out Tony Fryklund in 2006.

When you know Silva is capable of such highlight-reel heroics, it’s easy to grow disappointed in him when he delivers sub-par performances, as he did against Patrick Cote, Thales Leites, Demian Maia and Chael Sonnen. But when Silva is on his game, he’s the best in the world, and he’s now back on top of my pound-for-pound rankings.

Kenny Florian and Tyson Griffin Are Headin’ Down to Featherweight

Now that the UFC has a 145-pound division, it was only a matter of time before a few lightweight contenders decided to chase the belt where the competition’s a little smaller. The biggest name so far is Kenny Florian, who told ESPN.com yesterday that he’s taking himself out of the lightweight mix to try his hand at featherweight:

"I started playing around with the idea: could I make 145? Originally, I didn’t think it was possible," Florian said. "I spoke with a few nutritionists, got their opinions, told them what my body fat was, my walking-around weight, all that stuff and the general consensus was that it was very possible…[The UFC] is very supportive. They’re very excited about the move…My goal is to get the 145-pound belt, and then go up to 155 and challenge for that belt as well."

You may recall that Jose Aldo‘s management turned down a fight with Florian at lightweight because Florian was coming off a loss, was never a champion, and isn’t in the pound-for-pound top ten. You have to wonder if the insult is still weighing on Ken-Flo’s mind. Florian’s manager Malki Kawa definitely still has Aldo in his sights:
