FRESH EPISODE ALERT on When the Dust Settles!In this emotional and action-packed recap of the Kubota PBR Little Rock (Stop No. 12 of the 2026 Unleash The Beast season at Simmons Bank Arena), CZ Man and Lee Vai break down the sold-out Arkansas showdown (March 6-7, 2026) that delivered massive highlights, momentum shifts, and a heartbreaking moment that touched the entire PBR community.
We start by remembering the legendary 19H Man Hater, the two-time YETI World Champion bucking bull who tragically passed after an injury during the event. We pay tribute to his incredible career, unmatched power, and the lasting impact he had on riders, fans, and the sport—truly one of the greatest bulls in PBR history.
Then we relive the highlights:Round 1 fireworks with Austin Richardson posting a season-high 93.30 on Ransom for the round win.Round 2 strength as Sage Steele Kimzey bounced back from a buckoff with an 89.35 on Elmo to claim the round.Championship Round dominance, where Sage Steele Kimzey sealed his tour-leading third event win of the 2026 season with an event-best 91.55 on Lights Out—finishing with 180.9 aggregate points and extending his No. 1 lead in the Unleash The Beast standings over John Crimber to 83 points!
We analyze Kimzey's continued mastery (now three wins this season, all sealed on Lights Out with 90+ rides), Leandro Zampollo's strong runner-up finish at 177.85 points (Lee's pick to win the weekend), the high-scoring weekend that included epic rides like Richardson's masterpiece, and how Little Rock widened the gap in the gold buckle race while honoring a true legend in Man Hater.Plus, we look ahead to the next big stop in Jacksonville, FL—the biggest regular-season event of the year and a PBR Major—with key matchups, points opportunities, and who's ready to challenge Kimzey's lead.
Who you got in Jacksonville? Sage unbreakable at No. 1, Crimber closing the gap, or a surprise contender stepping up? Drop your picks in the comments!
