Dança #brega #reidopiseiro @criscyborg,” Werdum captioned his video. The dance was not the only unique part of the video, as the attire of the trio captured the attention of fans all over. Werdum was looking totally different; Cyborg wasn’t too far behind too. It would be hard for a non-fan to realize that the video contained some of the scariest killers in professional fighting.
