Cormier Says Russian Reality Show Chaos Nearly Made Him Quit: "Knife Fight, Brawls — I Wanted My Money Back and to Leave"

Daniel Cormier, the former two-division UFC champion, shared his experience serving as a coach on the Russian reality show Alf Global Reality. DC said he was stunned by the constant fights and scandals and even wanted to leave the project after one of the fighters grabbed a kitchen knife, waved it around, and made threats.

"I thought, I’m going home. I’ll give the money back and stay home. I can’t keep doing this bull**** anymore. This is too much. This is going to end badly — somebody is going to get hurt. Hurt badly. Very badly."
