UFC/Fred Durst Press Release
Las Vegas, November 15, 2002 Fred Durst, the famous frontman for the multi-platinum selling band Limp Bizkit, will be electrifying the crowd as he accompanies Tito Ortiz to the Octagon while singing a new version of Break Stuff at Ultimate Fighting Championship 40: Vendetta, which starts live on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. EST, Friday, Nov. 22, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. UFC 40: Vendetta is attracting significant media attention due to the long-awaited main event, a super-fight between the brash defending light-heavyweight champion Ortiz and the returning hard-core legend, Ken Shamrock.
Durst, long a fixture at Ultimate Fighting Championship events in support of Ortiz, is best known for his achievements with Limp Bizkit, the rock band that has sold more than 23 million records worldwide with a new album scheduled for release in 2003. In addition to his involvement with the band, he is a senior vice president of Interscope, a film director, music producer and, as his press biography states, a provoker and overall cultural savant.
What fans may not know is Dursts life-long passion for martial arts and specifically Ultimate Fighting Championships mixed martial arts blend of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu and karate. One of its top practitioners is Ortiz, The Huntington Beach Bad Boy, and the UFC defending light heavyweight champion.
Tito is gigantic, said Durst. Were going to crush Shamrock! Me with my mouth and Tito with his fists and feet. As his friend, I know theres no hype here ---hes one of the baddest of all time. This is going to be Titos show. No joke.
Fred has stood by me throughout my career in the UFC, said Ortiz from his training camp in Big Bear, California. Hes going to be rapping rhymes about me when he does his song Break Stuff. Dursts gonna blow the roof off the MGM Grand with some new vocal licks. And me? Im preparing a whole new form of punishment, he said as a sly reference to his opponent, Shamrock
