The never-ending feud between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier will reignite in 2026 when the pair of UFC legends serve as opposing coaches on ALF Global’s “Alf Reality” series.
“Alf Reality” is similar to the UFC’s long-running “The Ultimate Fighter” series but with a Russian spin. In its short history, the show has already featured the likes of Jones, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Petr Yan, and Aljamain Sterling in the role of coaches.

Season 3 will be the biggest yet, though, with internet personality and company founder Alfredo Auditore announcing that UFC Hall of Famer Cormier will oppose former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champ Jones in helping fighters chase the tournament crown.
Check out the announcement post below (via Instagram).
In an unthinkable image posted to Instagram by Auditore, Jones and Cormier faced off to promote the series, which doesn’t have a known release date (H/T Home of Fight on X).
The 11-year anniversary of the first fight between Jones and Cormier just passed. “Bones” ended the undefeated run of DC with a unanimous decision at UFC 182, but that was only the start of a more than decade-long beef.

The pair fought again in July 2017, but Jones’ knockout win was overturned to a no contest after a failed post-fight drug test. The pair have never been hesitant to throw a criticism at each other in the years since, and more recently Cormier said he would be open to facing his rival in a wrestling match.
Perhaps something is coming down the road, but for now, Jones and Cormier will try to get one over each other through the success of other fighters they mentor.
