'We're not done yet' - UFC veterans Jones and Cormier revive old feud

They fought twice, openly hated each other, and made history in the UFC. Now Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier are facing each other again - not in the cage, but as rival coaches in a new show.

From knockouts to cameras, but the tension remains

The announcement came via a joint post from the two former UFC champions. In collaboration with social media personality Alfredo Auditore, they are launching a new reality concept: Jones vs Cormier: ALF Reality. A show full of fighters, conflict, and cameras - and two rivals who for a decade could not live with, but also not without each other.

According to the creators, it is “the most brutal reality show ever”. Cormier and Jones each lead a team, packed with young talent and short-fused egos. And anyone who thinks this is a calm coaching role is mistaken. In earlier seasons of similar formats, hard brawls broke out between teams - and the atmosphere between Jones and Cormier is still tense.

The feud is still alive, even if they act friendly

Cormier retired, Jones became heavyweight champion. But their paths keep crossing. In the show they play it mature and professional, but underneath it simmers. The tension is palpable. Fans are wondering whether it will escalate again.

Their previous fights are legendary - even though the second was later overturned after a positive test by Jones. Still, the image of Cormier collapsing after a knockout remains etched into the memory of every UFC fan.

Big money and big egos draw full attention

The announcement immediately sparked reactions. “DC must be getting paid big for this,” a fan joked online. And they may be right. The production promises chaos, emotion, and above all fireworks between two men who never fully let go of each other.

Will they truly never fight again? No one rules it out.
