Overview
- ALF Global CEO Alfredo Auditore posted on Instagram stories that a Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier wrestling match is "almost confirmed" and described negotiations as "in the works."
- Auditore and multiple outlets say the bout is being negotiated to take place under Russia’s Professional Wrestling League, a shift that would move hosting away from U.S. promoters who had shown interest.
- Jon Jones previously rejected a wrestling offer from Cormier but Auditore says he has changed his position; neither Jones nor Cormier has issued a formal public confirmation of an agreement.
- There is no signed contract, announced date or confirmed venue and reporting relies primarily on Auditore’s social posts and secondary media corroboration, not a formal press release.
- The match would be an alternate-format chapter in a long rivalry that included a 2015 decision win for Jones and a 2017 rematch later ruled a no-contest after Jones tested positive for turinabol, which fuels Cormier’s public push to settle unfinished business.
