UFC president Dana White is a Patriots fan, but he worked on a deal to bring Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to his current home in 2020.
White shared that he nearly got Brady and Gronkowski to join the Las Vegas Raiders that year when the quarterback was a free agent and the tight end was in retirement.
“I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders, and it was almost a done deal,” White said while appearing on a simulcast hosted by the Gronkowski family during Saturday’s UFC 278.
