Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier are on a collision course once again. The former UFC light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) champions, who starred in one of the greatest rivalries in the organization's history, have been announced as coaches for the reality show series ALF MMA.

Known as the 'Russian Ultimate Fighter', ALF MMA is a reality show where aspiring MMA stars live and train together in pursuit of a professional contract.
