PRESS RELEASE:Las Vegas, NV (USA) -- The most historic event in UFC history just got bigger with the announcement that rap-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit are bringing the only performance in the U.S. of 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.

"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.

Wow - Really? I don't even know where to start making fun of this.
Wait, we have to pay to see Limp Bizkit? Can't they just put a tip cup on the sidewalk?
Affliction gets Megadeth & we're stuck with Limp Bizkit? Is Mr. T going to corner Frank Mir? Trump vs. Dana?
And Strikeforce had that ugly dragon over the entrance and a group of WCW Nitro Girls dancing around the cage. I still wonder why they failed? HA!
hahaha this is probably the gayest thing i've heard since..well the last time i heard about limp bizkit
rii cant wait 2 see bizkit about time they come back . ucf 100 just got ten times better .
Limp Bizkit is going to completly suck unless they got Wes Borland back on guitar. Then it would be worth it!
Wes is back with bizkit thats why they are touring, and I dont know about the rest of these post's but if you have ever been to a limp bizkit conecert its pretty bad ass...Must you forget the riot's that they stareted at wood stock...maybe it was jsut me but mega death looked like they really were about to die at the affiliction event. Stop the hating at least they got one of the best bands of the 2000's and didnt go corporate with nickleback!
Hey Andrew, the same thing could have been said about Creed! But I wouldn't have them linked to UFC 100. Nookie/Wookie? Really???
Of course all the original members are back! They figure touring is easier then mowing lawns and taking orders at McDonald's, which is what they are curently doing. Backstreet Boys can get an audience of girls and gay men riled up too, doesn't mean they should play at a UFC.
