Daniel Cormier doesn’t want to share accommodations with Jon Jones at ALF Reality.

Cormier and Jones are currently starring as rival coaches on ALF Reality, also known as the unaffiliated Russian version of “The Ultimate Fighter.” While filming for the show in Thailand, Cormier asked for a villa as far away from Jones’ as possible.

“My relationship with Jon Jones is nothing. I don’t have a relationship with Jon Jones… Make sure his house is as far away from mine as can be,” Cormier said. “I don’t need his energy around me.”

Jones vowed to defeat Cormier as a coach in the competition. “Bones” understands Cormier’s demand for a separate villa as there won’t be anyone to intervene if they get into a physical altercation.

“I’m a fierce competitor,” Jones said. “I’m here to win. I’m here to get my third victory against Daniel Cormier. I’m here to show the world that I’m a better fighter and a better coach… I understand. We can’t [allow] anything bad to happen out here. We’re in the middle of nowhere. There’s barely anybody to pull me off of him.”

Jones and Cormier shared one of the most intense rivalries in Ultimate Fighting Championship history. Jones defended the light heavyweight title against “DC” via unanimous decision in their first clash in 2015.
