Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has stirred excitement among fans by announcing his plans to attend a Limp Bizkit concert in Dublin. The Irish MMA star shared this news via social media, but his invitation came with an unexpected warning that has fans both amused and concerned.
McGregor’s unusual concert invitation sparks online reactions
Conor McGregor recently took to Instagram with a surprising announcement for his followers. “Who’s going to Limp Bizkit in Ireland tomorrow?” the fighter posted, referring to the American nu metal band’s performance at Dublin’s 3Arena as part of their Loserville 2025 UK tour. However, what caught everyone’s attention was the unusual warning that followed his invitation: “I’ll be bang in the centre of the Moshpit if anyone’s looking for their jaw broke and their teeth sent.”
This provocative message quickly generated thousands of responses from fans worldwide, with many finding humor in the fighter’s characteristic bravado. One fan commented, “Imagine going to a concert and getting round housed by Conor McGregor,” while another added, “The way getting your jaw broke by McGregor at a Limp Bizkit concert would actually be the best story to tell your grandkids.”
Even fellow UFC fighters joined the conversation. Hall of Famer Rashad Evans responded with laughing emojis, while undefeated UFC welterweight Oban Elliot playfully advised, “Make them miss, make them pay! They won’t be able to land on your jaw brother.”
The Limp Bizkit concert represents just one of McGregor’s many public appearances since his last UFC fight in 2021. The nu metal band’s tour includes stops in several UK cities:
| City | Venue | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Dublin | 3Arena | March 12, 2025 |
| Birmingham | Utilita Arena | March 15, 2025 |
| Manchester | AO Arena | March 18, 2025 |
| London | O2 Arena | March 21, 2025 |
The notorious fighter’s extended absence from UFC competition
Conor McGregor’s anticipated appearance at the Limp Bizkit concert comes amid a lengthy hiatus from professional fighting. By summer 2025, the Dublin native will have been absent from UFC competition for four full years. His last appearance in the octagon ended dramatically in July 2021 when he suffered a severe leg fracture during his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier.
This devastating injury came after McGregor had already lost to Poirier earlier that year, marking his second defeat to the same opponent within six months. Prior to these setbacks, the Irish fighter had made a promising return to MMA in January 2020, defeating Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in an impressive performance that reminded fans of his formidable skills.
Despite plans for a comeback fight against Michael Chandler scheduled for June 2024, that matchup was ultimately canceled when McGregor sustained a toe injury during training. Chandler has since moved on and is now preparing to face Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 next month, while McGregor remains on the sidelines with no confirmed return date.
The timeline of McGregor’s recent fighting career includes:
- January 2020: Victory over Donald Cerrone in his return to the UFC
- January 2021: Loss to Dustin Poirier in their rematch
- July 2021: Second loss to Poirier, resulting in a broken leg
- June 2024: Scheduled fight with Michael Chandler canceled due to toe injury
- March 2025: Still no confirmed date for UFC return
McGregor’s expanding business ventures beyond fighting
While absent from fighting competition, the 36-year-old has been far from inactive. McGregor has significantly expanded his business portfolio, with recent ventures extending into the music industry. In February 2025, he announced the signing of up-and-coming British girl band Sweet Love to his Irish-based label Greenback Records, declaring them “the biggest girl band since The Spice Girls.”
This move into music production represents just one facet of McGregor’s growing business empire, which already includes his popular Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey brand and The Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin. His entrepreneurial activities have kept him in the public eye despite his extended absence from UFC competition.
Most recently, McGregor has been making headlines in Dublin with a generous community initiative. Partnering with celebrity jeweler TraxNYC, the fighter orchestrated a treasure hunt throughout his hometown, hiding gold and silver valued at approximately $100,000 in various locations across the city. Some precious metals were placed at well-known landmarks like the Molly Malone Statue and City Hall, while others were hidden in more obscure spots.
Adding to the excitement, some of the hidden treasures include gift cards to McGregor’s Black Forge Inn. “For the people of Ireland, gold and silver. Prosperity for the people of Ireland,” McGregor stated about the initiative, demonstrating his continued connection to his hometown community.
Despite his business success and public appearances, many UFC fans eagerly await news of when—or if—The Notorious will return to competitive fighting. Until then, Dublin concert-goers might want to stay alert in the moshpit, especially if they value their dental work.
