The PBR Unleash The Beast tour brought 40 of the world’s top bull riders to the KFC Yum! Center this past weekend in advance of the upcoming World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas.
Rider Andrew Alvidrez won the first round on Friday with 88.25 points (out of a possible 100 per night), but Cassio Dias took home the overall victory on Saturday with 175.50 aggregate points.
Near the end of the night on Friday, rider Eduardo Aparecido was knocked unconscious and had to be removed on a stretcher. (He was back in the saddle the next night, though, and took home ninth place overall.)
Outside of the bull riding, the tour also included entertainment by rodeo performer Brinson James.
LEO photographed the tour’s first night in Louisville on Friday. Check out our photos in the gallery below.
