Jon Jones Picks Up Groundbreaking Nike Deal

Quote:

25 year old UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones makes history by becoming the 1st MMA fighter to sign a global sponsorship deal with sports apparel giant, Nike. MMAfighting reports:

Quote:

“Two sides have agreed to a multi year contract that will see Jones decked out in Nike gear for the forseeable future. On Sept 1, when he faces Dan Henderson at UFC 151 Jones will be rocking the famous “Swoosh”

As part of the deal Jones will be featured on worldwide Nike advertising line, sources said It’s expected to be announced within a week.”

WWE Superstar CM Punk Unimpressed With Jon Jones' Nike Deal - FightLine.com

Quote:

Pro wrestling superstar CM Punk, who makes his living competing for the WWE and is a MMA fan who is close friends with Chael Sonnen, sounded off on news of the deal via Twitter.

"Let's reward more drunk drivers with endorsement deals! #responsibility," Punk wrote.

While he didn't mention Jones by name, "Bones" was involved in a DUI case earlier this year. He crashed his car into a light pole in the early morning hours and was arrested on the scene. He has since made his court hearings and completed several sessions in alcohol abuse.

CM Punk sure doe's run his mouth a lot when its not needed.

I don't condone drunk driving but people make mistakes and if Jones is doing everything he can to correct the error then good for him. It's also great to hear that a MMA fighter is getting a deal from Nike. That's huge for the sport.

Punk's hero Steve Austin is/was NO saint. He needs to chill always speaking on people outside of the wwe

Good move for Nike and excellent opportunity for Jones.
