UFC president Dana White appeared on the 'ManningCast' and doubled down on the remarks he made about Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski nearly coming to Las Vegas.
UFC president Dana White reacts to a fight during Dana White's Contender Series season six week nine at UFC APEX on Sept. 20, 2022 in Las Vegas."The deal was in the works for both of those guys to come play for the Raiders," White told Peyton and Eli Manning.
White made the revelation in August when he joined ESPN’s"GronkCast." White said it was Jon Gruden who nixed the plan. Tom Brady, #12, and Rob Gronkowski, #87 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, react after a touchdown during the third quarter in the game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Dec. 26, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders. And it was almost a done deal. And at the last minute, Gruden blew the deal up and said that he didn’t want [Brady]," White said."And all hell broke loose, man. It was crazy and Brady was already looking at houses, and it wasn’t being said yet that Gronk was coming. So Las Vegas would have had Brady and Gronk the year that the Bucs won the Super Bowl, except Gruden blew the deal up.
Gronkowski said he was happy it did not work out and was happy to get traded to the Buccaneers from the Patriots and come out of retirement.FILE - In this Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021 file photo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, #87, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, #12, celebrate together after the NFL Super Bowl LV football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa, Florida."I heard about [White’s comments].
