The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has sparked new controversy by signing a new contract to partner with the disgraced beer brand Bud Light.
Earlier this year Bud Light infamously promoted transgender activist and model Dylan Mulvaney to honor the new spokesperson’s “365 days of girlhood.” The backlash has since been fierce and Bud Light’s sales have precipitously dropped, with many American’s staunchly boycotting the beer, and scorning those that do.
In a press release from the UFC, CEO Dana White announced the new partnership.
Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light were UFC’s original beer sponsors more than 15 years ago. I’m proud to announce we are back in business together.
There are many reasons why I chose to go with Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light, most importantly because I feel we are very aligned when it comes to our core values and what the UFC brand stands for. I’m looking forward to all of the incredible things we will do in the years ahead.
He said
As noted by White, Bud Light has since been a sponsor of the UFC, but as MMA Weekly points, the UFC signed a deal Modelo in 2019 to be the official beer of the UFC; which became America’s top-selling beer since Bud Light’s demise, noted by ZeroHedge.
Modelo, however, often sponsored former Women’s Bantamweight and Featherweight champion Amanda Nunes, who became the world’s first openly lesbian combat champion, married to her wife Nina and has an adopted daughter.
But as for the latest Bud Light deal, Dana White was featured on Fox News with Sean Hannity last night, explaining why he elected to sign with Bud Light.
During the segment White loosely acknowledged the controversy but said, “I’m looking at all the good things that they do.” He also claims that money was not at the core of this deal.
Commentors weren’t buying it. One wrote, “I HAD total respect for Dana… until I watched this.” Another said, “This was a straight up PR move for Dana by Hannity!” One patron commented, “Bud Light has STILL not apologized. They literally told their customers we hate you and we don’t want you anymore.” And of course, many were calling for a boycott of the UFC itself.
In June of last year the UFC launched a line of Pride attire and souvenirs, after having made the controversial decision to ban fighters from walking out with their country’s national flags in wake of the Russia-Ukraine war.
In 2016 the UFC also launched a line of “We Are All Fighters” fightkits and accessories to honor fighters that align with LGTBQIA+, ahead of the highly touted UFC 200 event. After some fights fell through and the card reshuffled, Amanda Nunes would be the headline fight against Miesha Mate, with Nunes walking away victorious.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:5
Oh, you’re “proud” to join them, Uncle Dana?
While this news is a bit trivial for WinePress readers, I mention this because it again speaks to the moral decay of this country, and Dana quite obviously did this for money.
Americans are a fickle lot aren’t they? Bud Light is condemned, but when Modelo promotes a lesbian with an adopted child, that’s passible? As I said initially when this Bud Light thing first started, practically all of these major beer brands and other large companies of all kinds are sympathetic towards sodomy, but it did not bother the consumer then…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I would ask how people can find entertainment in people fistfight each other, but then I remind myself that people have been entertained with movies about people shooting each other for over a century now. And that’s nothing compared to the Romans with their gladiators. Man’s sin nature manifesting itself so to speak.
As for booze, I steer clear of it. Both my parents were heavy substance abusers, (alcohol included), and I’ve spent my entire 31 year lifespan trying to undue the damage.
America is infatuated with violence because we are in the days of Noah, Kurotron.
Two of the biggest things that increased in Noah’s days as well as today are violence and sex perversion.
People get fired up to see two thuggish bruisers bust each other black, blue, and bloody in a cage,
those ghastly horrifying horror movies whether it’s the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or the torture and gore of the Saw and Jigsaw franchise,
Those M rated video games ESPECIALLY Grand Theft Auto and Call Of Duty,
Dozens of movies glorifying the mafia and the drug cartels,
Hundreds of horror movies with some of the most shocking portrayals of gore, it would make Jeffery Dahmer flinch!
(IMPORTANT NOTE: Jeffery Dahmer became a truly born again King James Bible believer and he is in Heaven and I look forward to meeting him!)
In the Days of Noah, you’ll be seeing violence of all sorts being glorified and made entertainment.
It’s because Mr White is greedy and has no morals and well, follow the money
1 Timothy 6: 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
