Read MoreVideo: Watch Jose Aldo?s celebration with the crowd at UFC 142
Remember that Jose Aldo victory celebration we wrote about? The UFC released video of one of the cooler non-fight moments to ever happen in the UFC. It will make you smile on this post-holiday weekend Tuesday.
The best part is that despite the crowd jumping running and jumping to get a piece of Aldo, the celebration was peaceful. The Brazilians wanted to embrace their champion, but didn’t kick each other in the face to do it.

The sharks are circling in the welterweight division. The target for potential feasting is this November. That’s when UFC welterweight champ George St-Pierre is anticipating his return to active fighting.
GSP tore his right ACL in December and underwent surgery shortly after. Several fighters have tried to return from a similar injury too quickly and paid the price.
On this HDNet Inside MMA video, Phil Davis tells St-Pierre to take his time. GSP agreed saying that he suffered the injury by rushing back from a less severe ailment to his left knee.
“Hard training will be in July and fighting again in November, I’d say could come back in November,” said St-Pierre.
St-Pierre thinks he’ll be fighting before the end of 2012. Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit meet for the interim UFC 170-pound title at UFC 143. But, it’s anyone’s guess who makes it to November in possession on the interim strap.

Read MoreProElite 3 Results: Minowaman No Match for Grove
Filed under: ProElite
Former Ultimate Fighter winner Kendall Grove took an easy unanimous decision over Ikuhisa Minowa in the main event of Saturday night’s ProElite 3 event in Hawaii.
The fight wasn’t much of a contest: Grove was clearly the superior fighter from start to finish, and he spent most of the bout in a dominant position on the ground, never coming close to finishing Minowaman but also never being in any danger of losing. All three judges scored it 30-27 for Grove.
“I should have finished him but he’s a tough legend and it’s a privilege for me to fight a guy like Minowa,” Grove said afterward.
It was the 93rd fight of Minowaman’s MMA career — and his first in the United States — and it was a reminder that he’s better suited for fighting the likes of Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi than he is at fighting good opponents of his own size under North American rules. For Grove it was a decent win, but not the kind of performance that will get him back in the UFC.
In the semifinals of ProElite’s heavyweight tournament, Ryan Martinez beat Cody Griffin by unanimous decision, 30-27 on two cards and 29-28 on the other, in a fight that had brief spurts of action but long stretches of inaction. And in the other semifinal, Richard Odoms bounced back after struggling early and forced Jake Heun to tap out to a neck crank.
Olympic wrestling silver medalist Sara McMann got the biggest win of her MMA career, beating Hitomi Akano by unanimous decision. The fight was mostly a stalemate on the ground, but McMann was the one taking the fight there and staying on top, and so it was no surprise that all three judges gave McMann all three rounds of the fight.
In other ProElite action, Pat Cummins had an easy time with Tasi Edwards, dominating him on the ground and submitting him with an arm-triangle choke in the first round. And in the first fight on the televised HDNet card, Brent Schermerhorn knocked Kaleo Gambill out cold with a brutal left hook to the chin in a fight that lasted just 45 seconds.
