Rob Gronkowski, an MMA trainer on the side?
In an interview with TMZ, he was asked what he did on Valentine's Day and if he was with a Florida reporter he was flirting in an interview last week. The New England Patriots star tight end said he has been training his teammate, Chandler Jones for a fight against his brother, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
"I didn't [take the reporter out]," Gronkowski said. "I came here to New York City. ... I spent [Valentine's Day] with Chandler and [pro wrestler] Mojo Rawley."
"Tell Jon 'Bones' Jones I'm looking for him," Jones added.
"Who you got your money on, Gronk?" the reporter asked.
"I got Chandler. I been training him all week," Gronkowski said.
Last week, Chandler had done an interview with TMZ saying that he would like to do a one round exhibition with his brother for charity, but didn't think it would happen because Patriots coach Bill Belichick would probably not allow it.
Who would win in a fight if it would happen?
