Dana White is a man of many talents. The boxing coach turned CEO and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is well known for his gambling skills, which have led him to being banned in certain casinos. White has also started the first American slap-fight league in Power Slap and has recently become a bull-raising enthusiast and is raising a PBR bull named Twisted Steel.

And it seems another role could be added to the list as the Las Vegas resident appeared in an ad campaign for one of UFC’s largest sponsors. White joined pop star Post Malone and former NFL star Peyton Manning in the latest ad for Bud Light, celebrating the end of March Madness to the delight of fans.

Dana White appears in Bud Light ad

The UFC signed a sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch-owned Bud Light beer to serve as the promotion’s official beer partner. The deal is reportedly for six years and worth north of $100 million. The company had previously been a sponsor of the UFC for ten years until their original deal ended in 2017.

The beer company found itself in trouble last year after receiving backlash from conservatives for an ad campaign featuring trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, leading to calls for a boycott of the beverage. Given its fanbase, the UFC also faced criticism. However, Dana White defended these actions but made clear that he supports Bud Light. And after appearing in the advertisement, White has made clear that he is firmly on the Bud Light train. And fans appreciated it.
