Aljamain Sterling will feature as one of the two captains on a spin-off of the UFC's popular reality TV show, The Ultimate Fighter. The ALF's version of the show is called ALF Global Reality, with a former opponent of Sterling's, Petr Yan, serving as the other captain for the season.

'Funk Master' will be the captain of the purple team, guiding the fighters through training sessions and fights. But in an unexpected event, the former UFC champion appears to have been choked unconscious by one of his own team.

Footage of the incident was uploaded to Instragram by the official ALF account during the official teaser for the release of the season:
