dailyloe.com – A video posted on social media appears to show former UFC champion Jon Jones in a road-rage incident in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The video was uploaded by a man named Bryan Beltran on his Instagram account. It shows a confrontation following alleged erratic driving.
Beltran claimed in his post that he was ‘almost hit 3 times’ by a black truck. He stated he then ‘flipped him off’ because of the dangerous driving. When Beltran pulled into a nearby parking lot, he said Jones followed him.
The first-person video shows Jones exiting his truck and walking towards Beltran. Jones, with his left hand in his pocket, calmly approaches the other man. He listens before telling Beltran, ‘You gotta calm down, bro. You gotta relax yourself, bro.’
Jones then flips Beltran off and walks back to his vehicle. The entire encounter lasts only a few moments. Beltran filmed the incident from inside his own car.
In a detailed caption, Beltran explained he did not initially know the driver was Jones. He wrote about the driving incident on Central Avenue near Eubank. Beltran expressed hope to make peace with the former champion.
Beltran’s caption also referenced another frustrating driving incident the night before. He humorously suggested Jones might ‘need to take some driving classes’. The poster added he held ‘no hate or hard feelings’ towards Jones.
Jon Jones is one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history. He is a former longtime light heavyweight champion. Jones has faced previous legal and disciplinary issues outside the octagon.
The Albuquerque Police Department has not commented on this specific incident. Road rage incidents are a common traffic safety concern nationwide. This event highlights the public scrutiny facing high-profile athletes.[]
