MMA stars Jon Jones and Nate Diaz are set to become coaches for opposing teams in the second season of the Russian fight reality show, ALF Reality. The show was created by influencer Alfredo Auditore.
Details on the specific coaching duties for Jones and Diaz are currently unclear. However, judging by the dynamic between coaches Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan in the first season, viewers can likely anticipate plenty of personality clashes and strong interactions.
In ALF Reality`s inaugural season, Sterling coached against Yan, stepping in for Merab Dvalishvili. Their coaching roles allowed them to reignite their real-life rivalry, including their controversial title fight where Sterling won via disqualification, a point Yan frequently brought up.
UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones takes on this reality show gig while awaiting his next fight. His future octagon appearance reportedly depends on whether he agrees to face interim champion Tom Aspinall, a fight Jones hasn`t seemed eager to take. Jones last competed in November, defending his title with a third-round TKO win over Stipe Miocic.
Since leaving the UFC in 2022 after 15 years, Nate Diaz has remained active, venturing into boxing. He`s had two professional boxing matches, suffering a decision loss to Jake Paul in 2023 and securing a majority decision victory over fellow MMA veteran Jorge Masvidal in 2024.
