PRESS RELEASE — The most historic event in UFC just got bigger with the announcement that rap-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit are bringing their “Unicorns N’ Rainbows” tour to Mandalay Bay Beach on Friday, July 10th to perform in their first North American concert in eight years as a part of the UFC 100 weekend. The multi-platinum-selling group has picked the perfect time to return to North American stages, and you can be sure that once their hits “Break Stuff”, “Rollin’” and “My Way” start blasting through the speakers, you’ll have all the adrenaline you need for UFC 100 the next night on Saturday, July 11th.
“Music is one of the things that make the UFC experience so exciting, and I’ve always been a big fan of Limp Bizkit, so we are excited to have the group perform at UFC 100 event weekend,” said Dana White, UFC President.
“We are proud that our first show in the USA with the original line-up in eight years will be in Las Vegas at UFC 100. The ultimate fighting music has finally found its home with the Ultimate Fighting Championship,” said Fred Durst.

come on dana limp bizkit… get some hardcore metal like slipknot to be there.
Slipknot is not hardcore or metal anymore, and they haven’t been for a long ass time
Slipknot will always be hardcore, regardless of what you say. Clearly you haven’t seen them on tour with 3 inches of Blood and Trivium this year, which I must say, as a fan of theirs since their debut in 99, was one of their heavier concerts. In the 8 times I’ve seen, I’ve yet to be disappointed. And although their new album isn’t as heavy as their others, it’s still a sick mother f’n album. I wonder, Mike G, when you last saw them live.
I completely agree Mike G. See, I rhymed like Durst!
Forget slipknot. I wanna see true Hardcore bands like Bon Jovi and Nickleback. Hell maybe even some Elton John to really raise the roof!
old Slipknot that is!!! Metal baby!!
I remember when Tito came out to “break stuff” when he fought shamrock for the first time. epic.
“rap metal pioneers” lawls.. more like “pop rap metal pioneers”
Rap/Metal Pioneers?…how long did THAT trend last?? How do you become labeled as a pioneer for something that died as quickly as it was born.
Also, great Ghostbusters reference Vinz. Ray Parker Jr. was a pioneer in ripping off Huey Lewis music.
Limp Bizkit aint that bad are they? Jeez, and all this time ive been listening to them. I might as well go and slit my wrists now… EMO STYLE! Thanks for ruining my life guys. F*CKERS!
EMO was great when it was bands like Sunny Day Real Estate (Jeremy Enigk), Promise Ring, and Shift. Then Jimmy Eat World pretty much destroyed that good idea.
There was a game on New Grounds called the EMO game, and the premise of the game was that all EMO bands had ovaries, and they would cause the bands to fall apart after three albums, therefore protecting the genre. Jimmy Eat World had removed their ovaries and were then able to continue producing successful albums, and the game was to try to kill them before they ruined EMO, or something like that.
Yeah, sorry… not a fan of Limp Bizkit or Slipknot. Personally I think Fred Durst is a jerk, and their sham of a guitarist search solidified that in my mind. They made the guys that were “trying out” play original music, which they recorded, then sign over the rights to that music… pretty lame.
I’ll admit, I liked LB when they first came out, but I got over that pretty quickly. Slipknot I first liked their style of music, but when I heard more of it, and more of what they were about as people I lost interest.
