According to an Instagram post by Bryan Beltran, he was “almost hit three times” in a truck driven by Jones. Beltran claims he then “flipped him off” before Jones followed him into a parking lot and confronted him.

A video shows that brief interaction, as Jones approaches Beltran with his left hand in his pocket. Beltran wrote that he wasn’t aware it was Jones until the fighter got out of his vehicle.
“You gotta calm down, bro. You gotta relax yourself, bro,” Jones says before flipping off Beltran and walking away.
Cooler Heads Prevail?
Beltran’s unedited post in the caption of the video is as follows:
Driving up Central close to Eubank when i 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 then he proceeded to stop in the middle of the road back up and come into the same parking lot.
The night before another guy in a truck pulled out infront me so 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 stay safe.
Btw i know its John 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 but i think he might need to take some driving classes cause he almost him multiple times. Hopefully soon i make another video where we can maybe shake hands and “squash the beef” lol.
Edit: All of you with John’s meat in your mouth relax, it ain’t that deep. I know he was a world champion, and 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. And like I said, I don’t carry and didn’t try anything, so I’m not someone to worry about. So take a break from hopping on his shit
Jones has a long history of run-ins with the law, including a number of vehicle-related incidents. Most recently, Jones faced a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident in Albuquerque in February 2025. Criminal charges in that case were eventually dismissed. Jones also famously pleaded guilty to fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run accident in April 2015, which led to him being suspended by the UFC and stripped of his light heavyweight title. He did not do jail time for the offense.
Jones ended a brief retirement in hopes of being on the UFC White House card on June 14. However, “Bones” and the promotion reportedly did not come to terms on a deal for him to fight at the event, so it is currently unclear if he will compete in the Octagon again.
