McGregor’s weird pre-gig message: “I’ll be bang in the centre of the Moshpit if anyone’s looking for their jaw broke and their teeth sent”
The shamed MMA star had posted a warning on social media ahead of the performance by the nu-metal band as part of their Loserville 2025 UK tour.
“Who’s going to Limp Bizkit in Ireland tomorrow?” ‘The Notorious’ wrote on Instagram yesterday.
“I’ll be bang in the centre of the Moshpit if anyone’s looking for their jaw broke and their teeth sent.”
However, when lead singer Fred Durst took to the stage and said, “it sounds like you’re in love with Conor McGregor here?’ it was greeted by loud boos.
As the jeering got louder one fan can be heard laughing, “haha, beautiful”.
“And I’ll be straight with ya,” Durst continued, “from what I heard, he’s actually out there right now” before the band launched into another song.
According to one fan, when Durst mentioned McGregor later in the gig he was booed again.
“One of the night’s highlight for me,” the fan said.
“The boos were very loud in the arena,” another said. “I can’t imagine his ego would have enjoyed being mocked, booed and laughed at. Fred knew what he was doing.”
Another added: “I hope he was there and I hope he heard the boos loud and clear.”
“I was there,” one person commented. “Glad to hear and see it. Everyone standing around me immediately started booing
“I didn’t hear a single shout of support, even if he wasn’t there it’s good that it was an absolutely unanimous response and that’s in Dublin. I can only imagine the reaction if he mentioned his name anywhere else in the country.”
“I saw him halfway through the gig, three or four people from the front,” one person claimed. “He was just standing there in the press of bodies, didn’t really move or do much, then left not long after.”
McGregor who hasn’t fought in nearly four years was last seen in the UFC’s Octagon in 2021, when he broke his leg in a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier.
That defeat marked McGregor’s second to Poirier in six months after he had returned by defeating Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in January 2020.
McGregor was scheduled to make his UFC return last June against Michael Chandler, but the bout was cancelled after the Irishman injured his toe.
McGregor has also been getting involved in the music industry since announcing the signing of up-and-coming British girl band Sweet Love to his Irish-based label Greenback Records.
“I am super proud and excited to announce the signing of the biggest girl band since The Spice Girls,” McGregor said in February.
Last week, a judge said McGregor was the “author of his own misfortune” by reposting comments from a man who said CCTV footage from the mixed martial artist’s civil trial would be released.
Mr McGregor had previously been ordered by an Irish court not to share the CCTV footage which was used in the civil case against him, in which a jury found he had raped a woman in Dublin six years ago.
Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ni Laimhin, won her claim for damages against Mr McGregor after accusing the professional fighter of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
Ms Hand, 35, was awarded damages and costs after a three-week trial last year.
In January, the High Court in Dublin made an order directing Mr McGregor not to disseminate the footage and to give back or destroy any copies he had.
