The now UFC Heavyweight fighter has signed a number of deals in the past to endorse companies, with Reebok, Nike, GAT Supplements, Monster Energy and Gatorade ranking among the most prestigious.

Reebok terminated their contract with the former 205-pound king back in April 2015, with Bleacher Report reporting that the deal was nixed following his involvement in a hit-and-run incident in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Jones is still listed on the Monster Energy website as being a sponsored athlete of the brand, although the nature of this deal has not been confirmed publicly.


Is Jon Jones still signed to Nike?

As noted, Jones was previously endorsed by Nike, although his contract with the brand was terminated back in 2014 (via Bleacher Report).

ESPN’s Darren Rovell revealed at the time: “Nike confirms it has terminated its endorsement deal with @JonnyBones. UFC fighter Jon Jones says Nike terminated his deal because of a press conference fight. Doubtful it's that alone.”

Despite the fighter being dropped by the brand, he revealed in September 2014 that he had no animosity towards them: “Yes [I have been dropped] but I have absolutely zero animosity they've been great to me.”

Up to January 2023, Jones has reportedly had career earnings of around $14,300,000 (via MMASalaries).

This amount takes into account his payouts in wins against Daniel Cormier, Thiago Santos, Alexander Gustafsson, Chael Sonnen and Glover Teixeira.

Jones’ manager Richard Schaefer revealed on the MMA Hour in early 2023 (via MMAJunkie) that Bones was now the second-highest-paid fighter in UFC history ahead of his bout with Ciryl Gane at UFC 285:

“I think UFC realizes that Jon Jones is the GOAT. He is a generational talent, so they were very much interested and very open to working with us and come to the conclusion of putting together a fair deal, which we did here. That deal we made for Jon makes Jon (in) the history of the UFC, the highest-paid heavyweight athlete. Overall, I think, as Hunter mentioned to me, probably the second-highest ever next to Conor McGregor. So it was a long negotiation, but it was not a hostile negotiation. It wasn’t where both sides dug their heels in. I think both sides wanted to find a way. We found a way, and here it is.”

Due to his stature, Jones has been able to make a significant amount of money inside the octagon.

It was reported (via FanSided) that the biggest payday of his career came against Daniel Cormier in 2014.

The bout at UFC 217 apparently netted Jones around $1.83 million dollars, taking into account his base salary as well as his sponsorship pay.
