Coming off the success of his own “ManningCast” with ESPN alongside Monday Night Football games and signing up Pat McAfee to do a similar project this fall with college football, Peyton Manning has another simulcast idea ready to go.
Manning and Omaha Productions will produce a “GronkCast” to go alongside Saturday nigh’;s welterweight fight between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards on ESPN+. ants to go to the mat in his ongoing bid to create a sports-content empire. On the stream will be Rob Gronkowski and his brothers Chris, Dan, Glenn and Gordie Jr. along with father Gordon, who will host what is being called UFC 278 with The Gronks.
The show has lined up Chuck Liddell and UFC stars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann to be guests for the family.
“You could not get a more perfect group of guys to host it,” Peyton Manning said.
UFC 278 with The Gronks will simulcast between 9 and 10 p.m. eastern on ESPN and ESPN+, then move at 10 p.m. to ESPN+ only, where it will stream until the conclusion of the event.
