White, who was from Boston, is a massive fan of Brady. He moved to Las Vegas almost two decades ago and spends his time in ‘The Fight Capital of the World’. Hence, he had tried to convince Brady to play for the Las Vegas Raiders.
He told TMZ, “I was hammering him [Brady] to come to Vegas and play for the Raiders.”
Though Brady didn’t answer with a clear ‘No’, he, according to White, sent a cryptic message. The UFC head honcho said, “He texted me back ‘hahaha’, you’re amazing, is what he said when I said come to the Raiders”
