The back-and-forth feud between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier has been continuing as the pair coaches opposite one another on the MMA-based Russian TV show ‘ALF Reality Global’.
Cormier and Jones being paired up for a show like this is a recipe for entertainment in itself, given their longstanding history and rivalry. The two met in the UFC octagon in 2015 and 2017 at light heavyweight, with Jones walking away the victor in both scenarios, but the 2017 match was later overturned to a no contest after a failed drug test.
‘ALF Reality Global’ is very similar to the UFC’s ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ as it puts up-and-coming fighters together under one roof, with fights in every episode, inside and out of the cage.
The most recent exchange between the pair from the TV series that has been making the rounds was when Jones, in front of many witnesses, challenged Cormier to a one-minute stand-up fight to settle things once and for all. Of course, ‘DC’ has not fought since 2020 and declined the reckless offer.

“Everyone in this room knows who the man is,” Jones stated.
“It’s up for debate,” Cormier snapped back.
Jones then claimed the debate has been over for years, before making his offer to Cormier.
“I’ll give Daniel one minute if he wants one,” he said, standing up. “One minute.”
