ABOUT DENER BARBOSA

Having arrived in the U.S. in 2016 after being crowned the PBR Brazil Champion, all eyes were on Barbosa for his impressive 80% riding percentage that championship season in Brazil. Despite battling some injuries over the years, the now 30-year-old Brazilian phenom has logged 19 event wins and twenty 90-point rides. He sports a riding percentage of 56% – with a 63% success rate on bulls that turn into his riding hand. Barbosa was a member of the Nashville Stampede for the first two seasons and will now suit up for the 2024 season, the league’s third, as an Arizona Ridge Rider.
