UFC's Daniel Cormier Nearly Quit 'Russian Ultimate Fighter' With Jon Jones Over Knife Brawl

Daniel Cormier - Carmen Mandato/Getty Images Daniel Cormier was on the verge of quitting a Russian reality TV show, ALF MMA, with Jon Jones after things took a dangerous turn. Earlier this year, Cormier and Jones served as coaches on ALF MMA , a Russian reality show much in the same vein as UFC's " The Ultimate Fighter " series, with the likes of Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz serving as coaches in the past. The third episode of this season released on Tuesday, and things went pear-shaped when two fighters with pre-existing issues came face-to-face and started brawling.

That fight set off more fighting, and one named Sergei, trying to break up one of them, got caught in the cross-fire and resorted to grabbing a kitchen knife. "We've seen a few fights since we've been here, and this was by far the biggest fight," Cormier said. "Sergei's 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's thinking about now is protecting himself. It was very intense. " "I think we're gonna go home," Cormier spoke with some of his team after the fight.

"I might give them their money back and stay home. I can't do this s***. It's too much.
