Former UFC rivals are all set face each other, but this time they are competing off the ring. Daniel Cormier recently said that he would be open to fighting Jon Jones again whenever the opportunity arises.
Well, the fans won’t see these two legends fighting it out in the ring, but fight it off as mentors on ALF Reality Global. On the show, both fighters will lead one team, and it will offer a fresh perspective on this intense rivalry.
This won’t be the first overseas assignment for Jones, as he already guided fighters for the Russian version of Ultimate Fighter. He brought decades of experience into a new format of the sport.
There is much history between these two. They will be becoming coaches from UFC Champions. In the first encounter between these two, Jones came out on top. In the second game at UFC 214, Jones initially won the match, but the result was overturned later due to a drug test violation.
As of now, Jones continues to lobby for high-profile fights. This includes a spot on the UFC White House Card. It shows that he hasn’t left the sport completely.
On the other hand, Cormier has focused on commentary, coaching, and mentoring young fighters. He maintains a visible presence in the MMA world.
The upcoming Russian show will feature aspiring fighters competing in teams. Jones and Cormier will guide these teams. Various social media posts have confirmed the participation of both fighters in the show. However, the schedule and release dates have not been announced yet.
The show will feature intense team challenges, strategic coaching, and plenty of rivalry banter. Likely, the physical fight won’t happen between these two legends of the game, but you can expect a lot of banter coming your way. However, the series will feature drama, mentorship, and a view of the elite MMA world.
This show, ALF Reality Global, provides a unique format for fans to witness the rivalry of Jones and Cormier.
