Jon Bones Jones @JonnyBones
Blessed to be signed by the biggest sports apparel company in the world #NIKE Dreams do come true
Never allow anyone to tell you what you can or cannot do
UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones joins UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva as the only mixed martial artists to be sponsored by the sports clothing giant. However, while Silva had the Swoosh plastered across his fight gear at UFC 148, The Spider’s deal is focused primarily in Brazil.
Jones, meanwhile, will receive global exposure. He’ll also have his own signature line, similar to NBA greats Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
As with most aspiring athletes who grew up during the Michael Jordan era, Jones always dreamed of being sponsored by Nike.
Jones will flaunt his new threads on September 1st when he defends his throne against Dan Henderson at UFC 151.
