UFC 278 with the Gronks was chock-full of memorable moments

UFC 278 gave viewers a memorable experience, but not just because of the main event featuring welterweight Leon Edwards' shcoking knockout of Kamaru Usman.

Former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star tight end Rob Gronkowski served as the host of an alternate broadcast along with brothers Chris, Dan, Glenn and Gordie Jr. and father Gordon.
