It's between him and AJ McCarron. I'd argue Bates deserves it, since like Brandon Aubrey before him, he'll be one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL next year.
@@sectorz1019 The teams are gone for now. This merger means spring football has a chance to actually be something. Dividing the players who don't make the NFL between 2 spring leagues would have probably resulted in both dying, you'd have XFL fans and USFL fans, now you have a large amount of both those fanbases combined and no competition. They need to focus on growth and longevity, people will start watching in half a decade if it's still around. Stadiums will start to fill up.
What a game! Best UFL game so far in my book. Just back and forth the whole time, so many great plays and another amazing performance from Jake Bates. Went 5 for 5 but if you include the ones wiped away by penalty he went 7 for 7, including one from 60 and the game winner.
Cheating like that helped to turn soccer into a pathetic mess, personally I'd hate to see that happen to this sport too. Even if the kicker doesn't draw a penalty for such obvious cheating, which he should, you can't pin it on the guy trying to block the kick either.
@InfinityReptar as a starter, no, but he would make a solid backup on any team that's smart enough to grab him. (There are some pretty dumb front offices in the NFL right now)
@@IceCubE4425true but it doesn’t have to be madden it could be like NBA live I think it could be a good out to make some money for the league but maybe it would flop idk 🤷♂️
I’d like to think at every stop Luis Perez has had in his football journey he’s baited a rookie into a game of bowling and absolutely wiped the floor with him.
2021 Lions squad started 0-6 barely losing all their games and losing heartbreakers to Minnesota and then Baltimore on Justin Tuckers record setting field goal.
After roughly half the season in the books, we can safely assume that the leagues (last year) were likely on par with each other seeing how most of these games have been quite competitive.
Editor - please stop cutting the announcers off mid word and mid sentence, it makes it very jarring to watch. Just extend the clips another second or two
Michigan kinda like the Steelers where they play up and down to their competition and know how to get the win. Also Etling has pretty bad pocket awareness, and I don't think Perez would have struggled like that but who really knows why these coaches keep playing different QBs seemingly at random.
He gave Battlehawks their first loss in week 1 with a 64 yard FG for the win. :) I hope he gets to try a 70 yarder this year. St Louis could be 6-0 as well but not for Bates kick.
I can't believe the Renegades didn't boot the final kickoff into the end zone to prevent a run back. They found a good rhythm and played well for three quarters, but they need better coaching.
That will be a 80 yard kick. They are kicking off at the 20. They do not have the leg to kick it in the endzone. Bates kicks it and lands around the 9 yard line.
@@NineballChris It doesn't have to land in the end zone, only roll and bounce into it. Either that or kick it high enough to give them time to reach the returner.
Luis Perez is one of the best QBs in the league just absolutely TRAPPED on the worst team. He does so much and gets nothing back in return. Some NFL team should really look at bringing him in to camp and at least get him as a practice squad QB minimum during the season.
@NineballChris I think he'd rather be both. Chances are if he made it to a practice squad he'd compete for his job/maybe lose it at the end of season. We've seen guys last year go to the NFL/Practice squads for the previous season who are now back in spring ball so it wouldn't be impossible.
Holy hell, what a game. This proves that there is no truly awful team in the UFL. 0-6 is 0-6, but nobody’s gonna be dismissing the Renegades as an easy win after this.
Bates scoring more than half of the Michigan points! This guy definitely deserves MVP!!
It's between him and AJ McCarron. I'd argue Bates deserves it, since like Brandon Aubrey before him, he'll be one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL next year.
...And a spot on the Lions' roster.
If the bills where smart, they would sign bates.
not mvp because he missed 2 kicks last week, but still good
Definitely deserves to get an invite to an NFL team's training camp.
Bates is the MVP of the panthers, the most clutch player in the UFL
Are we 100% sure that Bates isn’t an actual robot?
He missed the FG luckily was a penalty on Arlington. Lol
@@Mike-aka747 I couldn't tell if a defender tipped it or not at first
@Mike-aka747 12 men on the field helped block it tbh
@@STREAMSONLY-vt6gx I couldn’t tell a but looking at replays that was the case.
@Mike-aka747 yeah Arlington shot themselves in the foot so many times.
I got Bates’ autograph yesterday bro 👍💪
Nice! Definitely playing in the NFL next season. He is a game changer. Best teams should be all over him
@@wildwine6400 he's got one of the strongest legs ever
@@wildwine6400would love to see a kick off between him and Brandon Aubrey.
W
@@InfinityReptarextremely possible given the Lions have reportedly expressed interest and play Dallas in 24
Hell of a game.
Love The UFL. Good, quality product! Go Panthers!!!
Arlington is the best 0-6 team
I swear u read my mind it’s no way n hell they supposed to be 0-6
It's crazy that a team as good as the renegades goes 0-6. Really just show how good the teams are overall
Remember they were 4-6 last year barely made the playoffs and ended up winning the whole thing
the misery of being a fan in arlington is rooting for the dallas cowboys and arlington just for both to flop 😭
They're the Arizona Cardinals of the UFL
Now that is football
Without all the shenanigans. Like the national Fixed league
lol. from highlights??
This game was so wild and so awesome all at the same time a absolute thriller I'll tell ya 🔥🔥🔥
Dear Detroit Lions,
PLEASE sign Bates. We need a kicker. This dude is it.
Sincerely,
Everyone in Michigan.
Lions will certainly TRY to sign Bates...as will half the teams in the NFL!
Signed for 2 years! Let’s go!
@@LIONSMANIAC Well, hey hey. Looks like they did it.
@@doublea9482 Let the kicker competition begin!!!
@@nw4042 yes sir!
Bates is amazing
Yeah, made 2 64 yard field goals In a row. He has an absolute monster of a leg
You gotta give Arlington some cred. They fought with everything they had
That was an epic game..
Jake “The Legend” Bates WOW
Master Bates!
LEEEEEETTTTTSSSSSS GOOOOOOOO Paaaaaannnnnntheeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrssss
Kongratulations 🎉 MY BOYZ DOING BIG THINGS 💯 LETS KEEP GOING UP 🔥
Man, UFL football is so much better than the USFL/XFL was last year. The merger was a huge W
Nah this merger sucks bro 8 teams that are still gone, how can you even say this merger was good? Shame on you
I TOTALLY think the merger was necesarry, but they did not have to cut 8 teams. They really could have at least kept Philly, Seattle
@@nickfarmer88 i think they could have kept 12 teams

He did miss one at the end but Arlington had 12 men on the field
I was at the field. He spent the whole time during halftime practicing 50 yd goals and he nailed every single one!
@@TheAlienAbides He saw the flag and the whistle had blown before it was kicked...
Bates is an absolute machine, dude just doesn’t miss
He doesn't miss indoors. He missed a couple on the road. :(
@NineballChris tbf it was about 50+ yards out with a slightly wet field and slight winds
Cannot believe this is the same Danny Etling from LSU playing really good like this...😮
The bass when he kicks it.
Let's go panthers! We almost lost this one but jake bates saves the day again.
The UFL is a good football league I love watching it.
That Bates flop was LEGENDARY
He’s a soccer player
Cheating like that helped to turn soccer into a pathetic mess, personally I'd hate to see that happen to this sport too. Even if the kicker doesn't draw a penalty for such obvious cheating, which he should, you can't pin it on the guy trying to block the kick either.
@@darthbader6506 The guy made the penalty, period...
@@barrydavey7188 Yes he did, I agree. But is that something we want football to embrace? I think there is much more to this play than your reply.
Bru as a panthers fan, my heart was racing at the end
Did Hunter actually get hurt celebrating a Td ? & Arlington can’t catch a break lol
Great game! The UFL is here to stay!! Now once or if they get more teams in more city’s the league will grow and be awesome!!!
I'm convinced Jake Bates is a cyborg
That game was exciting!
A battle to the end
I was for Arlington to win their first game...came real close!
Yup, maybe next week...
Definitely seems like the merger of XFL and USFL is Working well! Quality of the Teams and Play is much better!
Jake "The Great" Bates DOES IT AGAIN!!!!
"The Great" is better so much better than "The Master".
That dam kicker
Them having Bates is not fair bro😂
Outstanding game
Luis Perez deserves better.
Yes, too many dropped balls.
And to many penalties by Arlington defense. Unit played a decent game but always found a way to shoot themselves in the foot.
Sal Canella deserves better.
Do you think that Luis Perez has a shot at the nfl next year?
@InfinityReptar as a starter, no, but he would make a solid backup on any team that's smart enough to grab him. (There are some pretty dumb front offices in the NFL right now)
love seeing the XFL Champs are now UFL Chumps!
CRAZY ENDING!!!
Did #17 get hurt after his teammate just dropped him on the celebration? What a terrible teammate lmao
0-10 incoming for the Arlington renegades 😬
#17 getting hurt off a celebration is bad luck
Need a 2K UFL video game asap, tired of madden
100% unfortunately no AAA company would make one unless it can be monetised heavily.
Sure do I don’t care if it looks like the Aew video game just make it happen 😂
They could develop a new video game for the #Atari #VCS 800!
Now a days. That would be cool.
@@IceCubE4425true but it doesn’t have to be madden it could be like NBA live I think it could be a good out to make some money for the league but maybe it would flop idk 🤷♂️
@@KDtaecould have Axis football make it😂 it would help both companies
That 60yd FG had more in it!
What a beast
Feel bad for hunter blowing out his knee in td celebration. Also Bates has one of the strongest kicking legs ive ever seen
I want to see him try a kick at 70 yards. I think he has the leg for it.
Bates or Martinez for league MVP?
Bates 👍🏻
Bates
Commentator sounding like RMC MIKE 😂
Announcers jinxed the Renegades after the FG
The kicker flopping was so good
Didn't need to, but good practice...
UFL IS GOOD FOOTBALL, COME AMERICA TAKE HOLD AND SUPPORT THE TEAMS, THANX MR ROK & EX WIFE !!!!!
I’d like to think at every stop Luis Perez has had in his football journey he’s baited a rookie into a game of bowling and absolutely wiped the floor with him.
I didn't know Jesse Ventura did UFL commentary.
Why is Bates not in the NFL? He’s been doing his stuff for over a year.
No he hasn’t. They literally said during his first FG that he hasn’t kicked one since high school
@@ItSaBeastNerd then I’m mistaking him for other kicker that was perfect since the previous leagues.
Bates will more than likely be in the nfl next season
This season.
Needed to get some field goal kicks under his belt. With his boot & consistency, I’ll be suprised if a team doesn’t pick him up this upcoming season
And this week's Luis Perez award goes to.... Luis Perez. For the 6th straight week. Come on down and accept your award.
Great win for Michigan
Arlington is best 0-6 team I have seen.
2021 Lions squad started 0-6 barely losing all their games and losing heartbreakers to Minnesota and then Baltimore on Justin Tuckers record setting field goal.
Finished 3-13-1
Bates is going to the NFL next season

Editor - please stop cutting the announcers off mid word and mid sentence, it makes it very jarring to watch. Just extend the clips another second or two
We need some good running backs in the league I mean the ones we have now are great but none of them are like Abrum Smith he was making house calls
Against watered down defenses
Michigan kinda like the Steelers where they play up and down to their competition and know how to get the win.
Also Etling has pretty bad pocket awareness, and I don't think Perez would have struggled like that but who really knows why these coaches keep playing different QBs seemingly at random.
They should just keep one quarterback the whole game that other guy ia not as good compare to perez
Killer game. I was cheering for Arlington. 😢
Bates is going pro after that game for certain. 60 yds w room to spare!
He already cashed that ticket with multiple 60+ yd field goals.
He gave Battlehawks their first loss in week 1 with a 64 yard FG for the win. :) I hope he gets to try a 70 yarder this year. St Louis could be 6-0 as well but not for Bates kick.
Terrific game. Unreal Arlington is 0-6. They could easily be 4-2 right now had just a handful of plays gone their way.
They should name Bates after the Disney character GUS, a donkey who kicked field goals. This guy don’t miss!!!!
Bates and Etling are very nice
The color commentator with laryngitis was really hard to listen to.
His name ought to be Money Bates.
It's Master Bates!
@@gregorypollard5908 🤣
Heartbreaking
The missed field goal at the end of the game should have been in the highlights. Arlington having 12 men on the field was an unforgivable mistake.
Bates makes a 50yd FG look like a chip shot.
I hope he gets to try a 70 yarder this year.
Not bad not bad at all!
Bro bates is absolutely insane
20 minute highlights. 👀
Good job panthers. You played the game like the lions. 😂
Jake Bates first team UFL Special Teams PK
Jake Bates is making himself a LOT of money 💰
Lions please get him a contract
USFL continues to be > than XFL
Bates not being on an NFL team is criminal.
No one knew about him until now
if you have bates you have everything
Arlington not a terrible team, they just can’t pull out smh sucks that they’re 0-6
As an Arlington fan i agree w you 100%
The great Bill Parcells once said "You are what your record says you are.*
They're not that good.
@@JohnnyJackson746 just make to many mistakes they limit those they’d be a much better team
The Lions would be stupid to let Jake Bates get out of their own backyard. They win the Super Bowl with him last year.
That's mighty presumptuous. They would have had to deal with a healthy Chiefs roster even if they pulled the game in SF off.
Let's just say they probably would have gone to the SB with Bates.
I can't believe the Renegades didn't boot the final kickoff into the end zone to prevent a run back. They found a good rhythm and played well for three quarters, but they need better coaching.

What team is Jake Bates going to be playing for in the NFL this upcoming season? We all know he's got teams calling (if they can).
Jake "Detonator" Bates is plenty good enough for the NFL.
Luis Perez is one of the best QBs in the league just absolutely TRAPPED on the worst team. He does so much and gets nothing back in return. Some NFL team should really look at bringing him in to camp and at least get him as a practice squad QB minimum during the season.
I'm a renegades supporter but I agree he deserves a better team than these blokes
Do you think he rather be a starter for a team in the UFL or be a practice squad guy in the NFL? I guess it depends on the player i guess.
@NineballChris I think he'd rather be both. Chances are if he made it to a practice squad he'd compete for his job/maybe lose it at the end of season. We've seen guys last year go to the NFL/Practice squads for the previous season who are now back in spring ball so it wouldn't be impossible.
@@TechGameEras True. Good point :)
why didn't you guys show the first iced field goal attempt
Holy hell, what a game. This proves that there is no truly awful team in the UFL. 0-6 is 0-6, but nobody’s gonna be dismissing the Renegades as an easy win after this.
THE LIONS GOING TO GET HIM I PROMISE YOU!!!! Bates GET READY TO BE A LION BRO
RMC Mike out here commentating now
Jake Bates is going to the NFL !!!
Give Bates an nfl deal. Also Butler from battle hawks needs a deal too great football
The story of Arlingtons season. 3 losses under 3 points 4 losses in one score games. 😞0-6
Looks like some good ball being played here. Bates is something special. UFL to be the farm league for the NFL?
Classic.
The Detroit Lions should get Jake Bates
For people calling out Jake Bates for definitely totally flopping to draw a penalty, he’s a former soccer player; it’s basically second nature for him
They should be called the ‘Jake Bates Panthers’
Perez will be in the NFL next year because damn does his team really let him down all the time.
He's not an NFL caliber quarterback.
