Watch Conor McGregor get booed at Limp Bizkit’s Dublin show

Conor McGregor was booed by Limp Bizkit fans during the nu metal band’s show at Dublin’s 3Arena last night (March 11).

In the run-up to the show, the mixed martial artist said in an Instagram post he would “be bang in the centre of the Moshpit if anyone’s looking for their jaw broke and their teeth sent.”

However, though frontman Fred Durst joked that they could “have a go at a slow dance” at the show, McGregor’s presence at the 3Arena wasn’t welcomed by the band’s fans.

“It sounds like you’re in love with Conor McGregor here…” the vocalist said, which was met with a loud chorus of boos. “I’ll be straight with you,” continued Durst, “from what I’ve heard, he’s actually out there right now…”

Footage of McGregor being booed circulated widely online, but fans there said that the footage didn’t do justice to just how loud the crowd’s disapproval of McGregor was.

“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 gig-goer. “One of the night’s highlights, for me.”
