| 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.
