Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones’ bitter feud has been well and truly reignited because the pair got here head-to-head for a brand new reality TV show.
The 2 legendary UFC double champions have already filmed this season of ALF Reality, and episodes began to be released today. Their feud dates back to 2014, with the pair sharing some of the bitter rivalries within the history of the game.
Now, they arrive head-to-head as coaches, and were interviewed by ALF owner Alfredo Auditore on the primary episode. And when Jones claimed that a win on this show would put him 3-0 against Cormier, his rival noted that their official tally is just 1-0 given his second win was overturned after a drug test failure.

Daniel Cormier calls Jon Jones a ‘cheater’ in heated meeting
Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones’ bitter rivalry looked to have cooled within the time that they spent away from each other. They even managed to do an interview together ahead of UFC 309 at weigh-ins, but now that they’re competing the old anger has re-emerged between the pair.
Cormier has even teased a possible fight between the pair – albeit in a grappling or RAF Wrestling contest versus a full MMA return. And fans can now see the problems between them play out on the brand new reality show.
“I’m here to get my third victory against Daniel Cormier,” Jones said as he goaded Cormier with a ‘3-0’ hand gesture. His rival replied that despite what happened of their second fight, it didn’t count because “he cheated the second time so he didn’t win”.
“There’s no way he can out-coach me, no probability,” Cormier insisted, before Jones replied that “Being on my team alone gives the fighters all of the energy they have to be victorious.”
Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones go back-and-forth with fat jibes
When Jones was asked what he thinks about his rival, he joked that “I’m just wondering what DC weighs immediately.” Cormier replied that back of their heyday, he could be mocked for his weight when the pair faced off.
Now, though, Cormier says that Jones “tries to tug his shirt and s—” as a way to hide his gut after bulking as much as heavyweight for the later a part of his profession.
The Louisiana native said that if the pair were to fight during filming, he would ‘probably drown’ Jones within the pool resulting from the fight being at a more natural weight.
