“Face of Danger”: Twisted Steel Thrills Bull Riding Fans With Stellar Performance Amidst Recent Challenge From UFC’s CEO

A cross-sport merrymaking is something every sports enthusiast would root for. But if both sports involve an equal amount of thrill, high adrenaline displays, and danger, the audience naturally gets more hooked. In the professional bull riders’ domain, a bull has repeatedly made bull riding headlines. But is it only because he’s a stellar bovine athlete?

The answer is no. The owner is the most celebrated and well-known Dana White, the CEO of the UFC. Being the pundit of MMA and Power Slap has not satiated White after all. He has worked to bring another dream to reality, bringing home bulls after falling hard for riding. Since 2016, his journey has entailed only successes until one of his men challenged his darling animal head-on.

Bull riding phenom issued a warning again

Being one of the rankest bulls in White’s purse, Twisted Steel has slayed in the PBR Team Series Championship. Currently standing with a 434 bull score, the talented bovine has a high buck-off rate, which most riders struggle with. Having thrown off 29 out of 31 riders in his illustrious career, he is girding up to throw another. But interestingly, that is none other than Donald “Cowboy“ Cerrone, the retired mixed martial artist who received the UFC Hall of Fame induction in 2023. PBR’s Instagram post, which says, “@danawhite’s Twisted Steel sends a message to Cowboy Cerrone with another quick buckoff,” doesn’t like Cerrone can bag the $100,000 anymore.

Even when the MMA veteran said, “I’ve never said no to a fight, and I think I should,” the world bought it. Scheduled for the PBR World Finals in Arlington, Texas, the two top sportsmen will lock horns. The world rallying for the highly awaited show has collected personal notes in the comment section.

Fans have mixed thoughts on the consequence

One fan was blown by how amazing Twisted Steel displayed inside the competition ring and said, “Cowboy has 3 seconds max.” But another fan subtly picked Cerrone’s side to say, “@cowboycerrone chuckles in the face of danger…”

Another fan, ignorant that he was a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association member in his juvenile years, said, “Does Cerrone have experience with PBR bulls, or was this a UFC x PBR exhibition collaboration?” Another fan, whose confidence didn’t know a stop, stated, “I want a challenge I bet I can stay on for longer then 8 seconds !!!” “This is awesome! What a beast to ride,” said another who also desired to ride the beast. Currently, an owner of a state-of-the-art ranch, Donald Cerrone has some winningest moments to live.
