Jess Lockwood took the first two PBR Unleash The Beast events, then Joao Ricardo Vieira took the next two. Can either of these competitors earn their third win in just the first five Unleash The Beast events of the 2019 PBR season?

Lockwood is back on a winning mission in 2019 after failing to defend his title in 2018. The PBR’s youngest world champion in history proved that right out of the gate by winning both the Madison Square Garden and Chicago UTB events.

See his interview from Chicago HERE.

The points lead he earned there was able to get him through the last two weekends, which weren’t his best performances, and leave the Montana cowboy in the No. 1 position in the world heading into the fifth event in Oklahoma City.

When Vieira won the Ak Chin Invitational in Glendale, Arizona, it was the first time he’d gotten the “W” at an Unleash The Beast event since 2016. He immediately followed it up with another UTB win in Sacramento, California, last weekend and is the one to beat coming into Oklahoma City this weekend.

In fact, Vieira has positioned himself only 2.5 points behind Lockwood in the world standings, which means everything could change after the fifth event on the tour, and Lockwood—who has held a commanding lead all season long—could be in danger of being unseated.

So the question is, can either of these two competitors continue to keep all of the wins to themselves for another weekend? Or will someone new earn the win in Oklahoma City?
