MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201c\u2026 Eventually, Sergei\u2019s so mad, because now he has a cut under his chin, that he runs into the kitchen, and he wants to grab a knife. Because all he\u2019s thinking about now is protecting himself. It was very intense.\u201d<\/p>\nJones echoed those concerns, describing the incident as one of the most severe he had witnessed during his time on the show. \u201cIt was really one of the most intense moments that I personally have seen, being a part of this show for two seasons now,\u201d Jones said. \u201cSergei went to grab that knife and scared the shit out of everybody\u2026 It was really intense, and I think for the first time, everybody on set kind of felt really unsafe.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the situation unfolded, Cormier expressed serious doubts about continuing his involvement and discussed leaving with his team. \u201cI think we\u2019re gonna go home,\u201d Cormier said on the broadcast. \u201cI might give them their money back and stay home. I can\u2019t do this shit. It\u2019s too much. Somebody\u2019s going to get hurt bad. Like, bad. Somebody\u2019s going to get hurt really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the incident, Jones addressed the fighters in an effort to restore order, warning that ongoing violence could jeopardise the production. \u201cRight now, one of our coaches is debating on staying,\u201d Jones said. \u201cAt the end of the day, this competition, we\u2019re all on the same team\u2026 nothing on this show is worth losing your life, whether that\u2019s in the ground or in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
The situation was eventually defused, with those involved brought under control, allowing filming to continue without further escalation and ensuring both coaches remained on the programme.<\/p>\n
