Rob Gronkowski teaming up with Peyton Manning's company for alternate UFC broadcast

Since its inception last season, “ManningCast” has been one of the most popular broadcasts in all of football. Peyton and Eli Manning have put on their own show, watching Monday Night Football on ESPN2 and giving their own opinion. Since then, similar styles of shows have been released, with Omaha Productions putting on the latest one.

UFC is teaming up with Rob Gronkowski and his family for “GronkCast” when ESPN puts events on PPV. In total, there will be six people on the show, with Gronkowski having four brothers (Chris, Dan, Glenn and Gordie Jr.) and their father (Gordon) joining as well. They are “pumped” to be working with Omaha Productions and the UFC.

“Our family is pumped to be able to team up with Peyton and his team at Omaha Productions to bring some fun and laughs into The Octagon,” the Gronkowski family said in a statement. “Get ready for some action-packed fun as we hang out as a family, share stories, and test out our UFC skills.”

“GronkCast” will get underway on Saturday, with the highly anticipated UFC 278 taking place in Salt Lake City. A welterweight battle between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards will take place, with the Nigerian Nightmare looking to keep his title of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. A long list of other entertaining fights is on the schedule too, with ESPN+ having the exclusive pay-per-view.

Just as Peyton and Eli do on Monday Night Football, the Gronkowski family will give their opinions on the entire event but also share some stories. Rob Gronkowski has some experience broadcasting already, working with Fox on their pre and postgame show when he was briefly retired. Now, he will be able to run point on the project and as usual, will make it highly entertaining for everybody to watch.
