SUNRISE, Fla. – The Nashville Stampede (7-1) were unbeatable for the second straight weekend, going 3-0 during Freedom Days presented by Breedlove Wound Care at Amerant Bank Arena, to extend the team’s best win streak in history to seven games Sunday afternoon.

Red-hot Nashville finished the weekend 10-for-15 (66.67%). Head coach Justin McBride’s squad has covered 22 of 40 bulls on the season, riding 55% of the bovine athletes they’ve climbed aboard.

On Sunday afternoon, Nashville dominated the New York Mavericks (1-7) 356.3-89.55, coming up one ride shy of perfection. Alan de Souza (Tremembé, São Paulo, Brazil) scored 88.2 in the first for the Stampede on Organized Chaosto put the team on the board. In the third, Daniel Feitosa (Guaraci, Brazil) bested Slick Rick for 89.95 points, marking the first time in 30 outs the bovine athlete was ridden going back to March 2023. Rogério Venâncio (Paranaita, Brazil) sealed the victory for Nashville in the fourth with 89.85 points on White Out. In the final out of the game, Riquelmi Silva (Bom Jesus do Araguaia, Brazil) scored 88.3 points on Big Dawg as the Stampede outrode the Mavericks four rides to one. New York’s Mauricio Gulla Moreira (Gaviao Peixoto, São Paulo, Brazil) recorded the lone score for New York with an 89.55-point ride on Flyin’ Solo.

The Austin Gamblers (4-4) also rode four bulls in another dominant victory over the Oklahoma Wildcatters (3-5), 350.45-173.1. Dener Barbosa (Paulo de Faria, São Paulo, Brazil) was the first to strike for Austin in the second with 86.5 points on Ground Pounder, followed by an 88.6-point ride by Sage Steele Kimzey (Strong City, Okla.) aboard Texas Slim. Three-time PBR World Champion Jose Vitor Leme (Ribas do Rio Pardo, Brazil) earned 88 points on a re-ride attempt for the Gamblers aboard Black Eyes, ultimately the team’s third ride of the day. In the fourth, 2018 PBR World Champion Kaique Pacheco (Itatiba, São Paulo, Brazil), riding for the win, conquered Sniper, bringing the team’s 2026 record to .500. Oklahoma scored on a pair of rides by Eduardo Matos (Emilianópolis, São Paulo, Brazil) (87.8 points on Geralt) and Kase Hitt (Dickson, Okla.) (85.3 points on King Ding A Ling).

Opening the day, the Arizona Ridge Riders (5-3) recorded their third straight win, 173.15-90.2 against the Texas Rattlers (4-4), to complete a perfect weekend. Texas took a 90.2-point lead with Daniel Keeping’s (Montague, Texas) ride against Game Over, his second against the bovine athlete this weekend, second 90-point ride of the weekend and third of the season. Arizona’s Eduardo Aparecido (Gouvelandia, Brazil) cut into the lead in the next out with 85.55 points on High Point. Everton Natan da Silva’s (Viradouro, São Paulo, Brazil) 87.6-point ride on Mayor of Hogeye would prove the game winner in the third after a re-ride attempt by Texas in the fifth resulted in a buck off.

The Kansas City Outlaws (3-5) ended the weekend on a winning note with a 266.9-179 win over in-state rival Missouri Thunder (3-5). Kansas City’s Sandro Batista (Pedra Preta, Brazil) earned an 88.6-point ride in the first aboard MF Cupcake followed by Eric Henrique Domingos (Pérola, Brazil) putting up an additional 88.95 points in the third on Scrappy. The final ride for the Outlaws was from Natanael Serra Aires (Fernandópolis, São Paulo, Brazil) on Baldy in the fourth for 89.35 points. Missouri’s pair of rides came in the squad’s first two outs by Paulo Eduardo Rossetto(Colorado, Brazil) (89.5 on Special Ops) and Felipe Furlan (Sales Oliveira, São Paulo, Brazil) (89.5 on Bad Boy).

The defending Teams Champion Carolina Cowboys (5-3) rode three bulls to spoil the Florida Freedom’s (5-3) chance at a perfect weekend at home, taking down Florida 263.85-89.5. Thiago Salgado (Naviraí, Brazil) earned 88.35 points on Bullistic while his brother Adriano Salgado (Batatais, São Paulo, Brazil) later earned an additional 87.55 points on Louisville Slugger. On a re-ride opportunity, Guilherme Valleiras (Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil) scored 87.95 points on Washita Red for Carolina. In their final out, Florida’s Bruno Carvalho (Alvares Florence, São Paulo, Brazil) earned the lone ride in the game for his squad worth 89.5 points on Husky.
