American Freestyle Bullfighting Heads to Texas

Written by

The toughest sport on dirt is teaming up with American Freestyle Bullfighting to put on the best show we have yet to see this year. AFB will be bringing you three days packed full of man vs. beast action. Not only will you get the chance to witness your favorite bull riders go head to head against the top bulls in the nation, but you will also get to see some of the best bullfighters in the nation do what they do best.

All of this action is going down at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on February 8-10th. The performances will be on Friday at 12pm, Saturday at 11:30am and Sunday at 10am and the finals later that day around 3:30pm.

There will be 24 bullfighters going head to head in the first four heats of the Championships. The top two from each heat will then go on to the semi-finals which will take place on Saturday and Sunday. With the championship on Sunday afternoon, you will see the top three bullfighters duke it out for the number one spot.
