Well, Bud Light refuses to go down without 'fighting'. Apparently, Bud Light will now be the official beer of the UFC.
We’re proud to announce that starting in 2024, we’ll once again be the official beer sponsor of @UFC pic.twitter.com/n9jcDyLhVv

Will this be the partnership that rehabilitates Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney nightmare?

Then, there were the comments who are not willing to let the Mulvaney issue go.
So I’m guessing it’s bring your own bag at @ufc events now? No way I’d ever drink Bud Light

I hear it only cost you $100 million to get that back. And still, nobody will be drinking this garbage juice.

I thought this was a joke. I guess the UFC will do anything to grow, but I won't be a part of it. UFC294 was my last PPV buy. What a shame it will bring fans away from the sport. Plus, Modelo is actually a good beer.

It will take years to fix your reptuation. This won't help.

Most people seem unconvinced this will actually fix Bud Light's reputation.

UFC just dug up Bud Light’s corpse, jumped in the casket and slammed the lid.
- Lesson: Never ever betray your brand! It’s analogous to marriage infidelity. Things are never quite the same.

Bud Light is paying $100 Million to be the official beer of @UFC and you know what? Lighting that money on fire would have been less embarrassing than what’s about to happen. Fighters are gonna hate this. Fans will hate it. The customers aren’t coming back @budlight. Period. You… pic.twitter.com/L15A3jBLAW

So UFC decided to do a deal with Bud Light, and all I can say is that if you’re going to sell out and mortgage your dignity, I hope they got a lot of money.

What a freaking embarrassment.
Bud Light just spent $100 million on a UFC sponsorship deal to try and cancel out the chicks with dicks ad. No one is drinking Bud Light at any tailgate I’ve been to this fall. Brand is dead: https://t.co/RfCe4AxurB

They haven't blocked you yet? @budlight is never getting their customers back and @UFC is making a mistake IMO. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose. I wonder if fewer people will buy into UFC events, because I certainly won't be giving them anything from my wallet…

Many commenters echoed this sentiment and seemed adamant about not going back to a brand they believe betrayed American values.
