Ahead of the 2025 PBR World Finals, Dennis Davis joined Western Sports Roundup to share insight from the unique perspective of a stock contractor bringing bulls to the sport’s biggest stage.
This year, DD Bucking Bulls, brought their standout athlete, Dana White’s Playmate, a bull owned by UFC President Dana White. With an impressive 80% buck-off rate, few riders make the full eight seconds on this bull but when they do, the reward can be massive.
In Elimination Round 1, Dana White’s Playmate was matched up with two-time PBR World Champion Jose Vitor Leme for a highly anticipated ride. Unfortunately, it was a quick buck off, showing just how powerful this bull is.
For Davis, the opportunity to own and showcase bulls of this caliber at such a high level makes it all worth it.
“The highlight of being a stock contractor are events like this and coming to this historic Stock Yards in Fort Worth” Davis explained.
The 2025 PBR World Finals continue tonight on The Cowboy Channel with the PBR Eliminations Preshow airing at 8:30 PM ET followed by Elimination Round 2 at 9:00PM ET.
