Former UFC champions and longtime rivals, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, are team coaches for ALF Reality Global 3<\/a>, Russia\u2019s Ultimate Fighter (TUF) knockoff that was so enamored with Jones in Season 2<\/a>, producers went and invited \u201cBones\u201d back for Season 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cSergei\u2019s so mad, because now he has a cut under his chin, and he runs into the kitchen, and he wants to try to grab a knife,\u201d Jones explained. \u201cWhich is really one of the most intense moments that I personally have seen being a part of this show for two seasons now. It scared the sh*t out of everybody. I had to grab the knife from one of the guys. It was really intense, and I think for the first time, everybody on set kind of felt really unsafe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I have to go,\u201d Cormier said after the incident. \u201cI think we\u2019re gonna go home. I might give them their money back and stay home, man. I don\u2019t know. I can\u2019t do this. It\u2019s too much. Somebody is gonna get hurt bad, like bad. I didn\u2019t know it was this. It\u2019s like, really bad. This guy got hit in the face when he wasn\u2019t paying attention. Like, he was sitting there. and somebody hit him on the side of the tooth. But now they\u2019re fighting outside. Man, I don\u2019t know if I can do this. Tell him, this is too much. Like I might not be able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel Cormier mentioned that he wanted to go home, and obviously, we can\u2019t do this show without Daniel Cormier,\u201d Jones admitted. \u201cEspecially this far into it. You know, I stood up, and I just talked to the guys about the fact that, ultimately this is a TV show, and ultimately, we have families at home, kids, and sponsors, and all types of stuff, and none of us can afford to lose any of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones eventually convinced Cormier to stick around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former UFC champions and longtime rivals, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, are team coaches for ALF Reality Global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542830,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,50911,33601,638,82,702,9468],"class_list":["post-542829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-international-mma-news-results","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
