Mixed martial arts fighter Jon "Bones" Jones is as tough with the rides he takes to the road as he is in the ring, considering most of his vehicles are customized to almost total change. One of the cars he recently took to the shop was his Roush Ford SVT Raptor truck and we have to be honest with you, it’s a beast.
Currently the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jones won the title in March 2011, when he also became the youngest champion in UFC history. As of December 2012, he was ranked as the #1 light heavyweight fighter in the world by various media outlets. He was also ranked the #1 pound-four-pound fighter in the world by multiple publications and as of this August he became number 1 in official UFC pound-for-pound rankings. As his age, he already managed to become one of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.
Good. Now that we settled we never want to mess with this guy, let us talk business.
So the particular car we’re looking at is a Roush Ford F-150 Raptor, which means it already comes with improved performance. We’re talking about a supercharger kit for the 6.2-liter engine that produces stunning 590 horsepower and 590 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque.
But Bones obviously needed more, so he took his black truck over at Addictive Desert Designs and got some really nice bad-boy front/rear bumpers and sidesteps. Once the exterior was done, the interior naturally followed. That was done by the guys over at Exclusive Motoring shop and you can look for it yourself. Add the custom painted 24’’ Forgiato off-road wheels and Jon’s monster is ready.
Well, we guess this is probably the way you role when you’re one of world’s biggest fighters alive. In fact, we also found a little movie where you can take a better look at this fellow's car collection.
