Earlier this week, MMA legend Conor McGregor revealed that he was a Limp Bizkit fan and that he would be attending the band’s show in Dublin Ireland. “Who’s going to @limpbizkit in Ireland tomorrow?” McGregor wrote via Instagram. “I’ll be bang in the centre of the moshpit if anyone’s looking for their jaw broke and their teeth sent.”
Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst responded: “Let’s have a go at a slow dance while we’re at it.” McGregor did show up at the concert, and he even got a shout out from Fred Durst. “It sounds like you’re in love with Conor McGregor here,” Durst said from the stage. Fans in the 3Arena proceeded to greet McGregor a chorus of boos. “I’ll be straight with you, from what I’ve heard, he’s actually out there right now.”
Footage of McGregor being booed can be viewed below, but fans commented that that footage didn’t do justice to the actual reaction from the crowd. “The boos were very loud in the arena,” one fan on Reddit said. “I can’t imagine his ego would have enjoyed being mocked, booed and laughed at. Fred knew what he was doing.”
“Fred mentioned him again a song or two later and he was booed again,” wrote another concertgoer. “One of the night’s highlights, for me.”
