In Week 1 of the 2026 UFL season, the Birmingham Stallions defeated the Louisville Kings 15-13. Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross was in action, but went viral from a moment off the field during the game. During the start of halftime, as the Stallions players left the field, words were exchanged between the players and the Kings fans.
The small barrier between the fans and players wasn't enough to keep the sides apart, and drinks were eventually tossed. Ross was one of the players who argued with fans, tossed drinks, and had to be restrained twice. During halftime of the Kings game š š„: Toohey pic.
