On the premiere of FX Mayans M.C., sharp-eyed fans picked out an MMA stalwart in the ref ranks – Mike Beltran – who was briefly featured as a 1 percenter biker wearing a cut, who rode in with his crew to see the Mayans M.C. on a business call.
MMA Referee Mike Beltran was seen walking into the Mayans’ clubhouse where he greets Michael Irby’s character Bishop in a brotherly embrace.
He practically filled up the frame of the door and was sporting his trademark double braided beard.
People on Twitter definitely noticed:
Thanks for the love brother. @MayansFX is a amazing. They treated me like familia. As always bro, you’ve always had my back and believed in. Only @EmilioRivera48 didn’t yell at me like you did when I started. Hahaha!

Beltran is also using Facebook to show fans his Mayans photo ops with Emilio Rivera who plays Alvarez on the series:
FX sent us an exclusive photo from the episode as well, along with the news he plays “Ibarra,” the Tucson Charter President.
