About American Freestyle Bullfighting

Legendary bullfighter Shorty Gorham, best known for his cowboy protection at PBR events, is reviving the forgotten sport of American style bullfighting and creating a new generation of stars with the formation ofShorty Gorham’s American Freestyle Bullfighting. Shorty has teamed up with PBR to be an additional event at select your stops. Oklahoma City is the second stop in their circuit.

Last year, PBR rider, Ryan Dirteater was the champion of the weekend. It will be interesting to see if he will be able to snag that title for a second year in a row or if the Brazilian Cowboy, JOÃO RICARDO VIEIRA will take his third win in a row.
