AFAIK this is the only major sponsor he still has. And they cut ties with him back in 2016. They resigned him in September and proudly marketed his return but must be regretting it now.
This guy had some of the most lucrative sponsorships in this sport's history and lost them all. What a collossal fuckup.On August 8, 2012, Jones became the first mixed martial artist to be sponsored by Nike on an international scale. Anderson Silva and Yoshihiro Akiyama have signed regional deals with Nike in the past, but Jones was the first to represent Nike globally.[161] He is also the first fighter in MMA history to have his own shoe line.[162] Jones was the first MMA fighter to represent Gatorade and MuscleTech in the Octagon.[163]
On December 16, 2014, Jones announced that he had signed a sponsorship deal with Reebok.[164] However, on April 29, 2015, Reebok terminated their sponsorship following Jones's involvement in a hit-and-run incident.[165] A day later, Jones also lost his sponsorship with MuscleTech.[166]
