"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. I don't need his energy around me."
"I'm a fierce competitor. 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."
Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones are serving as rival coaches on ALF Reality, a Russian version of The Ultimate Fighter, filmed in Thailand. Cormier explicitly requested accommodations as far away from Jones as possible, stating he has no relationship with Jones and doesn't want his energy nearby. Jones acknowledged the separation is necessary to prevent physical altercation, noting there would be few people to intervene in their remote location. Jones expressed his competitive drive to defeat Cormier as a coach and prove his superiority. Their rivalry stems from their UFC light heavyweight title fights, including a 2015 decision loss for Cormier and a 2017 knockout overturned to no-contest due to Jones's failed drug test.
