Jon Jones signs an endorsement deal with Nike

[aholbert32]

@JonnyBones Blessed to be signed by the biggest sports apparel company in the world #NIKE Dreams do come true

First MMA fighter to sign a global deal with a major shoe company unless you count GSP's Under Armor deal.

FYI, Silva's deal is only with Nike Brazil and not a global deal.

Hell yea! Love it love love it! So glad this sport is becoming more accepted.

I'm happy for Jones although I'm a little bit surprised at the timing considering Jones was recently arrested for DUI.

Just one more reason not to like Nike.

He was working on the Nike deal before the Evans fight. I think they decided to ignore the DUI. Shoot its not like Nike doesnt have major stars with criminal or controversial pasts (Vick, Kobe etc.)
