A New Mexico man shared video of a road rage incident he got into with former UFC champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones in Albuquerque.
The video shows Jones stepping out of his truck in a parking lot with the driver jumping out to confront the former fighter without knowing who was driving the vehicle.
The other driver, identified as Bryan Beltran, began shouting at Jones before the fighter approached, saying, ‘You almost f***ing hit me, bro,’ and claimed the fighter almost hit him multiple times.
Jones displayed an odd sense of calm, telling Beltran, ‘You gotta calm down, bro,’ and ‘You gotta relax yourself, bro.’
Beltran remained upset, telling the fighter, ‘You’re almost hitting me with your truck, bro.’
In response, the UFC fighter then flashed the middle finger at Beltran before walking back to his vehicle.

The man claims Jones, the former UFC champion, swerved into his lane and nearly hit him
Beltran explained his side of the story in the caption to the video, saying he was ‘almost hit 3 times by the truck even after i revved my car at him the first time it almost happened he still almost hit me twice after that so i flipped him off.’
He explained that a separate motorist pulled out in front of him the night prior, adding, ‘this was pretty annoying considering it was the second time a guy in a truck cant drive…i guess those are ABQ drivers for you.’
Beltran continued, ‘Btw i know its John [sic] Jones i didn’t know who it was when i flipped him off but definitely realized who it was quick! no hate or hard feelings towards my guy John [sic] but i think he might need to take some driving classes.’
He then addressed Jones’ fans, saying, ‘No, I don’t think I could beat him in a fight lol. But like I said, he should still be more careful. Being famous or trained doesn’t matter when it comes to someone pulling a trigger. Anything can happen.’
This is not the first time that Jones has had an incident on the road. In 2015, he was involved in a hit-and-run that resulted in injury to a pregnant woman. He pled guilty and served 18-months of probation.
In 2012, he pled guilty to DUI and had his license suspended six months. In 2025, he was accused of fleeing the scene of another accident in New Mexico – but charges against him were dismissed.
