Dana White<\/strong> just put his haters in a rear naked choke — the UFC honcho is adamantly denying he’s a sellout for getting back in bed with Bud Light following the Dylan Mulvaney<\/strong> controversy … saying the deal had nothing to do with money.<\/p>\n UFC announced earlier this week that Anheuser-Busch was back as the promotion’s official beer sponsor for the first time since 2019 … which certainly ruffled some feathers with people who boycotted the brewing company over its partnership with the transgender influencer back in April.<\/p>\n Dana was asked about the backlash following “Power Slap 5” on Wednesday … and he wants to make one thing clear — he couldn’t care less about what people think of the business deal.<\/p>\n Dana started off by slamming the “dummies” who said it was only about money … pointing out all sponsorships are about stackin’ cash.<\/p>\n Dana labeled it “f***ing stupid” to think Bud Light was a last resort … claiming there were multiple offers on the table, but he chose AB due to its values as a company.<\/p>\n “Everybody on every side of this deal that were involved — other beer companies and everything else — absolutely, positively knows that this was not about money for me,” Dana told the media. “We were going to end up with money no matter who we ended up with.”<\/p>\n In fact, he points out specifically what attracted him to the deal … saying the company has initiatives to support the military, law enforcement and local farmers — which separated them from the rest of the pack.<\/p>\n As for those who think Dana is just a puppet reciting lines to look good in the media — he’s got words for you, too.<\/p>\n “I saw some other f***ing a**hole today saying, ‘Oh, it sounds like they wrote him a script on what to say.’ Nobody writes me a script. Nobody tells me what to say. Ever.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/80\/16by9\/2023\/08\/18\/8064199ea97d4376ac514364bedb257a_md.jpg\")
