ARLINGTON, Texas – The air inside AT&T Stadium was charged to the flashpoint of spontaneous combustion when PBR’s Iron Cowboy cracked the latch on the first bull. The bulls were on top of their games with few exceptions as they dropped cowboys like J.B. Mauney, Silvano Alves Gois and the dancing Australian, Ben Jones handily onto the Texas dirt. Jones appeared to be suffering from an injury to his riding hand as he left the arena floor.

Just twelve men went on to the short go for the money and the prestigious major win: Paulo Lima, Aaron Roy, Keyshawn Whitehorse, Cody Ford, Winston Lopez, Lachlan Richardson, Mike Lee, Fabiano Vieira, Rubens Barbosa, Guilherme Marchi, Joao Ricardo Vieira and Shane Proctor. As it turned out, the bulls were just warming up.
Twelve men up, twelve men out and twelve men down early meant running in another entire set of bulls for Championship Round, Take 2. The bulls, however, were just getting warmed up and the second round riders all ate dirt.

Between the CBS Sports seven-minute commercial breaks and reloading 16 unanticipated bulls, Flint Rasmussen wore holes in his dancing shoes and can skip Pilates for a while.
Shane Proctor finally stopped the bull mania to ride and win the 3rd PBR Iron Man, the prestigious major title and the money.
For the first time this year, RFD-TV’s The American Presented by Polaris RANGER played host to Bull Fighters Only. Watch for this new, exciting association as American bull fighting is poised to take center stage at arenas near you.
