Las Vegas Raiders team owner Mark Davis responded Sunday to UFC president Dana White’s story about nearly executing a plan to bring Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to Sin City before it was nixed.

White said during a special ESPN broadcast of UFC 278 with the Gronkowski family that former head coach Jon Gruden did not accept the plan and the whole deal was nixed. Brady was a free agent at the time, determining where he should play next and Gronkowski was "retired."

Davis reacted in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"I heard about [White’s comments]. That was what — two to three years ago or something? I don’t know, man. Talk to Dana. I remember that Tom Brady went to Tampa Bay. That’s basically what I remember. I have no idea. Dana has the stories. I love Dana. He is a great, great promoter. Why would this make me upset? I was busy watching [the Raiders beat Miami 15-13] and the basketball game," Davis told the newspaper.

Brady was rumored to have drawn interest from the Raiders and New Orleans Saints while he was a free agent but ended up joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Raiders had Derek Carr as their starting quarterback and the Saints had Drew Brees, who was about to play one final season.

"I worked to put that deal together for Brady and Gronk to come to the Raiders. And it was almost a done deal. And at the last minute, Gruden blew the deal up and said that he didn’t want [Brady]," White said.
