Current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was confronted by Corey Anderson earlier today during an autograph signing in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Anderson along with some of his friends decided to crash Jones’ meet and greet, a move that did not sit well with ‘Bones’.<\/p>\n

After some verbal exchanges turned ugly, security stepped in to keep the situation from escalating any further (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Shortly after the incident, Corey Anderson, who has been clamoring for a title fight with Jon Jones, took to Twitter<\/a> where he claimed to be the victim in today’s altercation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just came to say \u201cHi\u201d\u2026 Jon Jones comes to my town I want to give him a nice warm welcome. But noooo, he got emotional that I know his manager. I\u2019m the victim! And then he insulted my coach @DanteRiveraMMA\u2026.#ufc #fightme\u201d. Anderson wrote on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones would later follow suit, sending out the following messages regarding today’s now infamous incident in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Attention, it worked. Looked like a clown getting booed in his hometown though. Bones-1 Corny Anderson-0. Haters man, keeping me on my toes https:\/\/t.co\/le0igeIKde<\/a><\/p>\n
