FORT WORTH, Texas — The Ultimate Bullfighters (UBF) and Professional Bull Riders (PBR) hosted four qualifying events. In addition, they held last week’s Wildcard Rounds at the Fort Worth Freestyle during the PBR World Finals. The final day of the richest bullfight ever is now set.
At the Will Rogers Tent outside Dickies Arena, athletes competed in 18 bullfights on Friday afternoon. Twelve athletes advanced to the final day of competition, while six were eliminated.
Those twelve athletes are: Colton Orcutt (Kersey, CO); Chance Moorman (Lytle, TX); Wagner Miqueline (Zacarias, Sao Paulo); Roper Rich (Eaton, CO); Tyler Mansell (Caldwell, ID); Noah Krepps (Jasper, AR); Aaron Mercer (Calgary, Alberta); Dekevis Jordan (Madill, OK); Ely Sharkey (Ainsworth, NE); Jacorey Golden (Houston, MS); Cauy Kraut (Wickenburg, AZ) and Dylan Idleman (Hillard, FL).
On Saturday night at the Cowtown Coliseum, these men will face off in six matches. From there, the top performer will advance to the Championship Round of six. In the Championship Round, the top score will take home $50,000, while second place earns $25,000 and third place receives $10,000.
On Friday afternoon, Tyler Mansell and 2020 UBF World Champion Chance Moorman each posted the top scores of the day at 87 points. As a result, with two men advancing per bracket, the lowest scorer moved into the consolation round on Saturday afternoon.
Other top scores included an 83 from Colton Orcutt in Round 2. In addition, Roper Rich scored an 86.5 in Round 3, while Aaron Mercer won Round 4 with an 86. Dekevis Jordan posted an 86 in Round 5, and Noah Krepps also earned an 86 in Round 6.
Both Golden and Idleman have made their way into the Top 12 via last week’s Wildcard Weekend.

About Ultimate Bullfighters Inc. (UBF)
Founded in 2008 by J.B. Mauney, Luke Kaufman and Chad Ellison; was created over a decade ago to promote the sport of freestyle bullfighting. In the action-packed sport of freestyle bullfighting, a bullfighter competes for 60 seconds against a fighting bull predominantly of Spanish descent in an effort to score points for maneuvers performed during the competition. Unlike traditional bullfighting, the athletes do not harm or kill the animals. Judges score bullfighters solely on how closely they perform dangerous stunts around the bull without getting hit. Having paid out over $1,000,000 since its formation and more than $500,000 in the past two seasons, UBF now embarks on a new journey by entering a historic partnership with both the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and Fort Worth, Texas. This collaboration includes the UBF World Finals as well as an event series beginning in March 2022. For more, visit UltimateBullfighters.com
