The UFC 278 has hired the Gronkowski family to provide alternate commentary to the fight. Although, it would not feature Joe Rogan but the simulcast titled ‘With the Gronks‘ will feature the 4x Super Bowl Champion with his brothers. The event is set to air next weekend, on 20th August. The TE is as excited as he could get since he is starting a new journey in life outside the football turf.

He took to Twitter to express his exhilaration on entering the realm of UFC. The Gronk family is known for doing stints together and this would be no different. The family’s most famous appearance was on ABC’s Shark Tank where the Gronks secured a deal for their company, Ice Shaker.

In his Twitter post, Rob Gronkowski wrote, “[Bruce Buffer], is iiiiiiiiiiit tiiiiiiiimmmmeee for me to start training?? Let me know after the Megacast with my family, UFC 278 GRONK STYLE.”
