The parent companies of Budweiser and Miller, the world’s two largest breweries, have agreed to merge and create an entity that would control one-third of the global beer market.

Anheuser-Busch, the primary sponsor of Ultimate Fighting Championship, is chastising the popular mixed martial arts league for anti-gay remarks made by some of its competitors. “We’ve communicated to the UFC our displeasure with certain remarks made by some of its fighters, and they have promised to address this.
