FORT WORTH – Here inside Dickies Arena, the PBR World Finals round 4 were held, a great night of bull riding from the world’s best riders and bulls in the hunt for a world title and a $1,000,000 purse for the winner.

John Crimber, in spite not being able to get a ride last weekend, is still hanging on to the top spot with 984.50 points. Crimber is looking to add to his lead this weekend and take home his first world title and that $1M bonus – not too bad for a 20-year-old.

In second place is the Australian, Brady Fielder, with 848 points, looking to put together a good weekend here at Dickies to cut the lead and overtake Cimber for that world title.

In third is the seven-time PRCA world champ Sage Steele Kimzey with 805 points. Kimzey started his finals off strong last weekend winning the first two rounds, chopping down the lead as both Crimber and Fielder would not ride. But that was all the magic for Sage in the first weekend, as he would end up bucking off his final two bulls of the weekend, setting up for a tight race down to the last bull possible here in Cowtown.

In round five of the 2026 PBR World Finals, Bob Mitchell would get the first ride of the night on top of Chico for 85.65. Maverick Smith answered Mitchell`s call with 83.40 of his own on top Electric Kitty. Cassio Dias would get on Elmo and take him to the bank for 88.25, for Dias’ 100th career ride; and Bruno Carvalho would get Mike’s Motive rode for 87.55.

In the next section we saw the numbers 1 and 2 bulls in the world and both would put up huge score as Alex Cerqueira would take the number 1 bull in the world, Pegasus, for 94.35; the bull score for Pegasus was 46.30. But then Ransom said, its my turn, as the number 2 bull in the world and Eduardo Aparecido would stick a 96.10, with Ransom scoring 46.75.

Dalton Kasel would take Woody for 87.65 to end the section. Manuelito de Souza Jr. would take DirtyBru to the bank for 89 points. There was only one ride in the next section, as Hudson Bolton would ride Lights Out for 91.30.

In the final section: the top three riders in the world. Kimzey would start it off he would buck off of Top Dollar. Brady Fielder on Mr.Demon was next, and he put up 86.65. That left Crimber on Walk Hard  to try and add to his world number 1 lead and his first ride of the finals, but it was not to be as he would come down and put a end to round 5.

Eduardo Aparecido would get the round win on Ranson with a 96.10.
