Dustin Poirier did not appear in the latest Bud Light commercial that aired during UFC 329. This follows his recent arrest for public drunkenness at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where he reportedly threatened a police officer and used a racial slur. His legal troubles have led to significant professional setbacks, including the loss of a major sponsorship. While it is unclear if Bud Light has officially dropped him, he was not featured in the new ad, which included only Bruce Buffer.
