MLB and the NFL found their broadcasting gems in former legends. UFC is taking a different route in crafting its new go-to commentary.
Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, which produces the ManningCast, announced that it is producing a new UFC commentary alternative hosted by Rob Gronkowski.
Viewers can choose to watch their Saturday night pay-per-view UFC fights with the standard commentary or opt into With the Gronks, which will feature the recently-retired tight end and his family. The commentary will feature his father Gordon and his brothers Chris, Dan, Glenn and Gordie Jr.
