Jon Jones is once again at the center of controversy after a video surfaced online showing what appears to be a heated roadside confrontation in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The clip, which quickly spread across social media, shows Jones approaching another driver following what the person filming described as a near-collision.
In the footage, the driver can be heard confronting him:

What, bro? Trying to get into? You’re almost f*cking hitting me, bro.

Jones appears to respond calmly at first:

You’ve got to calm down, bro.

The exchange continues, with the driver insisting:

You’re almost hitting me with your truck, bro… in my f*cking lane and sh*t, bro, come on.

At one point during the interaction, Jones raises his middle finger toward the camera before walking away.

The individual who posted the video later shared his perspective on what led up to the moment:

Driving up Central Close to Eubank when I was almost hit three times by the truck even after I revved my car at him the first time… 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.

He also noted that he didn’t initially realize who he was dealing with:

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.

This guy got into a road-rage incident with Jon Jones 😳

🗣️ Jon Jones: “You gotta calm down bro. You gotta relax yourself bro.” 😬

Jones later responded publicly, offering a different version of events:

This kid proceeded to chase my car down for two blocks, revving his engine and trying to intimidate me.
I am glad this happened to me and not one of the senior citizens in our community.

I am proud of myself for standing up for myself and not allowing that kind of bullying or intimidation.
