Game Previews:
Houston Roughnecks vs Arlington Renegades:
Key Players:
- Luis Perez (Renegades): QB – Completed 20-of-25 passes for 164 yards in Week 1 victory
- Kalen Ballage (Renegades): RB – Rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown with a 77-yard breakaway run

- Nolan Henderson (Roughnecks): QB – Added spark with 68 passing yards, 54 rushing yards in relief appearance
- De’Veon Smith (Renegades): RB – Scored three touchdowns in goal-line situations against San Antonio
The Roughnecks-Renegades matchup offers an intriguing Texas rivalry with notable sibling drama as twin brothers Antonio (Arlington) and Marco (Houston) Ortiz will face each other for the first time professionally. Arlington’s offense looked dominant in Week 1, with Luis Perez directing an efficient passing attack while Kalen Ballage emerged as a rushing threat. Houston’s offense struggled mightily against the Battlehawks, managing just 6 points while shuffling between quarterbacks Anthony Brown and Nolan Henderson.
Head coach Bob Stoops has the Renegades looking like championship contenders again after their impressive season-opening performance. Meanwhile, C.J. Johnson’s Roughnecks (1-10 career coaching record) need major improvements, particularly in tackling after missing 15 tackles last week and generating minimal pressure defensively.
UFL Betting Odds:
Spread: Renegades -8
Over/Under: 39
Moneyline: Renegades -360, Roughnecks +280
San Antonio Brahmas vs St. Louis Battlehawks:
Key Players:
- Manny Wilkins (Battlehawks): QB – Accounted for 2 rushing TDs and 189 passing yards in Week 1
- Jarveon Howard (Battlehawks): RB – Explosive runner with 115 yards and a TD on just 13 carries
- Jacob Harris (Brahmas): WR – Led San Antonio with 4 catches for 63 yards in Week 1
- Kellen Mond (Brahmas): QB – Former NFL draft pick completed 17-of-31 passes for 159 yards
- Jahcour Pearson (Battlehawks): WR – Dominated with 6 catches for 83 yards including a 33-yard reception
This prime-time matchup features a highly anticipated rematch of last year’s XFL Conference Championship game where San Antonio eliminated St. Louis. The Battlehawks enter as favorites after a dominant 31-6 victory over Houston, while the Brahmas look to rebound from a disappointing 33-9 loss to Arlington.
St. Louis showcased one of the league’s most impressive rushing attacks in Week 1, with their offensive line earning UFL Offensive Player of the Week honors after paving the way for 273 yards on the ground. The Battlehawks’ backfield duo of Jarveon Howard and Jacob Saylors combined for over 200 rushing yards.
The Brahmas will be missing several key starters, including CB Greedy Williams, RB John Lovett, and DE Garrett Nelson. Meanwhile, the Battlehawks will be without star receiver Hakeem Butler (hamstring), with Denzel Mims expected to start in his place.

UFL News:
The Arlington Renegades have activated defensive backs Nico Bolden and Carlton Johnson for their UFL debuts against Houston, providing a boost to their secondary. Houston has made a notable change at running back with Kirk Merritt now listed as RB1 over Lorenzo Lingard, who managed just four yards on three carries last week. In other injury news, Colby Richardson returns at cornerback for the Roughnecks, potentially strengthening their pass defense against Luis Perez. The St. Louis Battlehawks will be without star wide receiver Hakeem Butler due to a hamstring injury that limited his production in Week 1.
As Week 2 of the UFL season concludes, fans will be closely monitoring the UFL scores and impact on UFL standings across both conferences. The early UFL betting odds favor the home teams in both contests, but with rivalry matchups and revenge narratives at play, anything can happen on the field. Will the Battlehawks avenge last year’s playoff defeat, or can the Brahmas recapture their championship form? Share your predictions in the comments below!
