Master chief! UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum to appear in Halo 5: Guardians

It's unfortunate that current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight kingpin Fabricio Werdum failed to capture a sponsorship through the Microsoft-manufactured gaming console Xbox -- just as Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson once did -- before the promotion's partnership with fitness apparel and lifestyle company Reebok kicked in back in July.

The 38-year-old champion is apparently a huge fan of the first-person shooter and Xbox exclusive Halo (via Bloody Elbow). It was at a Gamescon 2015 event earlier this week where developers of the latest installment in the series revealed that "Vai Cavalo" would make a cameo appearance.
