The crowd at Sacramento's Power Balance Pavilion went wild Saturday, when Brazilian bull rider Valdiron de Oliveira scored a career high of 94 points on the champion bull Buckey.
Oliveira ended up claiming the title in the inaugural 15/15 Bucking Battle, which paired the 15 best riders in the world with the 15 top-ranked bulls.
