It means it's not getting reordered.
Or so I've gathered from hearing about it.

Yup. Costco won't carry the Bud Light any more.It means it's not getting reordered.

Things may have just gone past financial and into legal consequences...
I don't feel like this can really succeed, all Bud Light needs as a defense is "We thought this campaign would make money, and were wrong." Being incompetent isn't illegal.
Good. Every time I go to a store, the Bud Light is always available in large quantities. It may be getting a bit long in the tooth though XDStill dropping....

TLDR
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced that Bud Light will become its official sponsor as part of a partnership with Anheuser-Busch...
"Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light were UFC's original beer sponsors more than fifteen years ago. I'm proud to announce we are back in business together," UFC CEO Dana White said in a statement about the partnership on Tuesday. "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." [BOLD is my emphasis]
The responses are already coming...
-"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," wrote former Republican congressional candidate Robby Starbuck.
-"Are you saying that UFC is okay with Bud Light promoting the evil transgender ideology of Dylan Mulvaney? Signed, millions of fans who will boycott you too," asked conservative host Liz Wheeler on X, formerly Twitter.

Much like AB, the majority of the people that watch it are right wing or right leaning. Many of them will not stand for giving money to a company that shakes hands with Tranheuser.
Does the UFC have a board? Cause if they do, I’d have some very serious questions for White at the next meeting.
Fun fact alot of the "righ wing moral guardian" stuff was in fact left wing. For example the freak out over GTA in the late 90s was lead by Tipper Gore.I actually don't find the lefts propaganda all that compelling anymore. They have gotten so self righteous that they remind me of the cringe ass right wing moral guardians back the day.
Thier parent company bought out Vince actuallyWernt they acquired by WWE
Which is even wielder to me.Thier parent company bought out Vince actually
Yeah he's personal friends with Trump because Trump used to let the UFC use his venues in the 90s. Which is actually a big part of how MMA was able to become a legit sport as most American venues wouldn't host fights. As they said it was to brutal and such Chief among them was John McCain.Which is even wielder to me.
Isn't, or wasn't Dana White very much a republican and a outspoken Trump supporter?

Maybe wouldn't be surprised boxing has always been an extraordinarily corrupt sport with deep ties to organized crime afterall.Pretty sure McCain was taking bribes from the Boxing industry since they were the biggest opponents of MMA early on.
This isn't going to pull Bud Light and its parent company up from sinking beneath the waves: All it's going to do is drag the UFC brand down into a cold, watery grave along with Bud Light. smh
