UFC Limp Bizkit Concert Cancelled

This weekend the UFC announced that the July 10^th Limp Bizkit show, which had been scheduled to take place in ‘concert’ with that weekend’s UFC 100 events, has alas, been cancelled. The catastrophic news was posted on the UFC website as well on the band’s official blog. According to ‘LB’ (Yes, it feels weird using an abbreviation, as if there is some sort of connection to the group) complications regarding DVD rights and the venue, were what kyboshed the show:

Facts- Limp Bizkit did NOT, in any way, cancel the UFC100 concert in Las Vegas. Truth is UFC and Interscope records could not come to an agreement on certain DVD rights. With all respect to Mandalay Bay, The UFC were also unhappy with LB’s decision of wanting to switch the performance from the Beach at Mandalay Bay with its inappropriate layout for a heavy rock concert with Limp Bizkit, basically a stage in front of a pool, to a more standard concert venue also located at the mandalay Bay which was the House Of Blues. The UFC expressed they wanted a “party vibe” for this event and would not settle for any venue besides the Beach for this and other reasons. First, LB would like to confirm we are HUGE UFC fans and will always be, but feel it is unfair for UFC to falsely confirm and advertise that Limp Bizkit will be performing to only change their minds after many people have rearranged their lives and bought tickets to be in Vegas for this special concert.

Wow. Fans ‘rearranged their lives” to attend a Limp Bizkit show? (For those of you who actually are in a panic right now, or waking up from a coma that set in ten years ago, the ‘LB’ blog also stated that they are working on putting together a show for that same night) Next we’ll find out that people are abandoning their families just so they won’t miss a Hootie and the Blowfish concert. (Truth be told, several MMA Fix staff members recently took out second mortgages so that they could finance a trek to watch Silverchair perform)

At any rate, while all of us are still reeling from this weekend’s news, if the UFC has any sense of moral decency, any sense at all, they’ll bring in the Spin Doctors.

Now if we can just find that ‘Nookie’ single….(or our Red Yankee’s hat)
