2025 UFL MVP Power Rankings: Defenders QB Jordan Ta'amu leads after Week 8
Week 8 of the UFL season is in the books. The playoff schedule is all set and ready to go. Where do we stand in the MVP race? Heading into Week 9, the MVP race appears to be a two-man competition between a pair of quarterbacks that have stood out above the rest this season: Bryce Perkins and Jordan Ta'amu. Does Perkins or Ta'amu claim the top spot in this week's rankings? Who else is in the mix and has a chance to make a run at MVP honors? Here's a look at my updated UFL MVP rankings heading into Week 9: 4. St. Louis Battlehawks RB Jacob Saylors Week 8 stat line: 16 rushes, 118 yards, 1 TDWeek 8 result: 29-28 win over Birmingham Saylors has been the most consistent offensive weapons in the UFL throughout the season. He leads all rushers with 466 yards and is tied for first place in rushing touchdowns with five. With more performances like last week, Saylors could be the primary reason the Battlehawks win their first UFL postseason contest. 3. Arlington Renegades QB Luis Perez Week 8 stat line: 32-of-46 for 350 passing yards, 2 TDs, 1 INTWeek 8 result: 33-30 loss to DC Perez has consistently shown himself to be one of the league's best passers. Heading into the final two weeks of the season, he has thrown for more than 1,800 yards, completed 70.9% of his passes and has thrown seven touchdowns to five interceptions. Though the Renegades are out of the playoff hunt, Perez still has a chance to top 2,000 yards passing in 10 games. 2. Michigan Panthers QB Bryce Perkins Week 8 stat line: N/AWeek 8 result: N/A Though Perkins did not play in Week 8, it's been clear since he ascended to QB1 in Michigan that his playmaking ability is what has allowed the Panther offense to remain dynamic. Perkins plays the QB position like a point guard, passing when players are open, but he's also just as adept at moving the chains with his feet. The Panthers always have an option to run or pass when Perkins drops back, and that skill will serve them well against the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL Conference Championship Game. 1. DC Defenders QB Jordan Ta'amu Week 8 stat line: 15-of-26 for 240 passing yards, 2 TDsWeek 8 result: 33-30 win over Arlington No one has proven to be more adept at creating explosive plays for their team than Ta'amu. With 1,990 passing yards and 16 touchdowns, he has thrown for nearly 200 more yards than the second-leading passer in the league and twice as many TDs as the No. 2 QB with that mark. While his completion percentage is 53.6%, when Ta'amu completes passes, they're more than likely to be chunk plays. Those chunk plays have allowed the Defenders to clinch their first UFL playoff appearance and have Ta'amu positioned as the presumptive MVP of the league.

UFL 2025: Best hot mic moments from Week 6
Week 6 of the 2025 UFL season provided plenty of memorable moments. Kicking off the week, the St. Louis Battlehawks got a 12-6 win over the Arlington Renegades on Friday night, followed by the Houston Roughnecks squeaking out a 21-20 win over the Memphis Showboats on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, the Michigan Panthers got a 24-point victory over the DC Defenders, and the Birmingham Stallions beat the San Antonio Brahmas, 26-3. [MORE: What is the UFL? Everything to know about the 2025 United Football League] And with that, here are the best hot mic moments from Week 6. Arguably the most pivotal play of Houston's narrow victory was cornerback Armani Marsh strip-sacking Memphis quarterback Dresser Winn, and defensive end T.J. Franklin picking up and running the loose ball back 40 yards for a go-ahead touchdown. With the ball on the ground, a member of the Roughnecks' coaching staff could be heard yelling "get that rock" and "scoop it." Winn ran in a go-ahead, 9-yard touchdown for the Showboats with 2:46 remaining in the second quarter, and wide receiver Dee Anderson had something to say to the Roughnecks defense after the scoring play. Panthers quarterback Bryce Perkins was all over the place in Week 6, throwing for 188 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 76 yards and one touchdown. After one of his carries, though, Perkins took some time to get off the ground and expressed that he was hit "in the ass." Stallions running back Ricky Person Jr. scored the game's first points, rushing for a 4-yard touchdown with 2:10 remaining in the first quarter, and his teammates liked what they saw. Worried about getting a flag, Houston pleaded to the referees that a hit on Winn was merely a hit to the shoulder. After picking up a first down on the ground, Roughnecks running back Zaquandre White expressed that he's "got" his teammates' back. Perkins rushed for a 5-yard touchdown with 4:29 remaining in the third quarter, a play which saw him evade multiple tackle attempts. The Michigan quarterback categorized the play as "good s***." After holding the Renegades to six points and keeping them out of the end zone, Battlehawks head coach Anthony Becht commended his defensive coaching staff, expressing that they did an "excellent f****** job."
