Dana White is not only the UFC head honcho, but he has other interests outside the UFC as well. White is interested in gambling, where he has won big time, and he also owns a bull. The bull is named ‘Twisted Steel’ and has a record of 35-4 right now. The bull is a great fighter, just like his UFC gems, and has taken on the limelight after defeating its opponent. Recently, the bull again made a dangerous slide and moved on to the PBR world finals. 

The UFC CEO had scheduled UFC contender Donald Cerrone to ride on Twisted Steel’ at the bull riding event. However, Cowboy Cerrone was recently injured while practicing for the bull riding competition. He had a bicep tear and had to get surgery. 

The video showed Dana White’s prized bull easily throwing its rider in a jiffy. White even captioned the X post, Twisted Steel vs. #35-ranked Conner Halverson!!! Twisted Steel will now move onto the @PBR World Finals on May 9th–12th in Fort Worth, TX. Watch it on CBS Sports Network.”

He seems to be very proud of his prized fighter animal. White was looking forward to making Cerrone ride ‘Twisted Steel’. Cerrone was even up for it, and he challenged White that he would not only ride the bull but control it. White talked about the bet and said that if Cerrone could stay put while sitting on the bull’s back for 8 seconds, he would pay the UFC fighter $100,000. He would also pay $50,000 if Cejudo could ride while sitting atop the ‘Twisted Steel’. However, Cowboy Cerrone had a bicep tear during practice for the bullfight, and this resulted in surgery, which made him give up on the PBR challenge. 

The former UFC star came to Instagram to let the world know of the accident. As y’all know, I was set to ride @danawhitestwistedsteel at the @pbr world finals on May 18. I was just rushed into surgery with a 100% bicep tear off the bone!!! Guess you mess with the bull; you sometimes get the horns. This is not the end. I will rehab and get back after it. Dana White came to his rescue; however, fans were debating whether Cerrone could have beaten the bull.

Fans react to Dana White’s champion bull

Following the Cerrone injury and his cancellation, ‘Twisted Steel’ appeared in the recent PBR and won against 35-ranked Conner Halverson. However, the fans were still stuck on whether Cerrone could have beaten the bull. One fan said that Cerrone would not have won. He said, Cowboy wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

Another fan chimed in that the bull throws a nasty slide. Cerrone already had a nasty injury just by practicing for the bullfight, so maybe the bull could have won.
