May 23, 2009

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 in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, July 10 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 11.

"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 LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst.
