Jon Jones announced via his twitter that Nike will film an MMA commercial which presumably stars Jones. The news comes after it was announced this week Anderson Silva’s global sponsorship with Nike.
Honored to be making history tomorrow. @nike will be filming their first ever #MMA commercial in different locations throughout Albuquerque.

As for Silva, his manager Ed Soares stated that Silva’s sponsorship with Nike has gone from an exclusive Brazil sponsorship to a global sponsorship. This is big news for The Spider as he fights next month.
Payout Perspective:
It’s likely that the commercial will feature Jones and Silva. The news of a Nike commercial is good news for the UFC as two of its biggest stars are now sponsored by the Swoosh. This a blue chip sponsor that the UFC needs to grow and attract more mainstream sponsors. We will see how Nike presents MMA in its commercial and how active it will become in the UFC.
