Coach Skip Holtz’s Winning Streak
All three titles have been won under coach Skip Holtz, who is being called “the King of Spring.” He’s won with a different quarterback at the helm of each championship season with J’Mar Smith in 2022, Alex McGough in 2023, and this year with Martinez.
Game Highlights
It was a scoreless first quarter for both teams, but the Stallions scored in the second quarter and never let up. The Stallions went 9-1 in the regular season.
The Stallions’ defense was led by outside linebacker Kyahva Tezino who had nine tackles, including six solo and two forced fumbles. The Brahmas led the league by allowing 15.3 points and 256.7 yards per game, but Birmingham finished second in both statistics, allowing 18 points per game with 259.5 yards per game. San Antonio led the league with 32 sacks, while the Stallions led the league with 17 takeaways. The Brahmas were limited to 208 total yards. San Antonio quarterback Chase Garbers was 18 of 26 for 116 passing yards.
They outrushed the Brahmas 210 yards to 52.
Tom Brady’s Broadcasting Debut
The “GOAT” himself, former Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady, made his FOX broadcasting debut during the UFL championship game. Brady later appeared on stage after the Stallions’ win to present the MVP award to Martinez.
Martinez’s NFL Prospects
This MVP campaign puts Martinez in good standing with the NFL where he showed he’s very deserving of a tryout or look from pro scouts.
The Stallions are owned and operated by actor Dwayne Johnson’s Alpha Acquico company and the Fox Corporation.
