After an alleged road rage incident's aftermath was caught on camera, Jon Jones is giving his side of the story.

Jones, a former UFC fighter whose list of outside-the-cage run-ins with the law and legal issues is longer than his wingspan, can be seen on video approaching a man and his vehicle in Albuquerque, N.M., where Jones lives.

The man filming the video, Bryan Beltran, said on social media that he was "almost hit 3 times" by a truck driven by Jones and that he "flipped him off." Then, he said, Jones followed him into a nearby parking lot for the confrontation seen on the video.

Beltran's first-person video shows Jones walking toward him with his left hand in his pocket while Beltran tells him his driving was erratic. Jones approaches Beltran and says, "You've got to calm down, bro. You've got to relax yourself, bro." Jones then gave his middle finger to the camera and went back to his truck.

Jones, an infamous tweet-and-deleter, responded Sunday on social media and said Beltran was bullying him, and he was standing up for himself as a victim. He also expressed concern for the senior citizen community of Albuquerque.

"This kid proceeded to chase my car down for two blocks, revving his engine and trying to intimidate me," Jones posted. "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."

Jones has been lobbying, at one point essentially begging, for a spot on the UFC's planned event at the White House, but the UFC and CEO Dana White were not interested in having him be a part of the card. He also has said arthritis in his hips likely will keep him from fighting again.

Once considered one of the best fighters of all time, Jones' relevance has been mostly relegated to the history books in recent years thanks to large periods of inactivity with surgeries and contract holdouts. He has fought just three times in the past six years, and the first of those wins, a decision against Dominick Reyes in a light heavyweight title fight, is one most observers contend he lost.
