UFL 2025: Best mic'd up moments from Week 2

Week 2 of the 2025 UFL season is a wrap, and it was full of star-studded performances. Arlington quarterback Luis Perez guided the Renegades to a 2-0 start, Battlehawks running back Jacob Saylors added to his league-leading rushing touchdown total and Memphis receiver Jonathan Adams put up another big performance with 128 receiving yards.
