There's not a whole lot of good news in the Jon Jones camp in the last few days.
It was revealed today that he had been stripped of his UFC light heavyweight title, removed from UFC 187 and suspended indefinitely by the promotion after his alleged role in a hit-and-run earlier this week. And now Reebok, the fighter's biggest sponsor, have gone and terminated their sponsorship deal with the 27-year-old.BREAKING: Reebok has terminated the contract of UFC fighter Jon Jones effective immediately.

Due to the abounding controversy around Bones, we reckon he'd be an ideal candidate for the adidas "There will be haters" campaign, if and when we see him fight again.
