As the PBR's Unleash The Beast rolls into Minneapolis, Minnesota's Target Center this weekend for its third weekend of epic bull riding action, PBR.com is highlighting some of the early-season's most memorable moments, top scores, career achievements and beyond!

• Davis Dominance: Coming off an event-winning 3-for-3 weekend in St. Louis, the No. 1 ranked rider on tour has logged qualified rides in 5 of his 6 outings (83.3%). Set to square off with Pearl's Ghost in Round 1 Friday night, Davis will look to defend his top spot, with No. 2 Brady Oleson trailing by a mere 56.5 points in the race to be crowned the 2023 PBR World Champion

• Alves Achievments: 90-point rides? Plenty. Championship buckles, same. (Four now, after the veteran's title-clinching run with the Nashville Stampede) The most recent spectacle for one of the sport's all-time riders? 1,000 career outs, which came last weekend in St. Louis when Alves made his 2023 Unleash The Beast debut. Like a fine bottle of bourbon, only getting better with time.

• Rematches Galore: While a bull's unpredictability on any given night is one of the most entertaining aspects of the sport, we've got a handful of rematches scheduled for the Friday slate. With familiar matchups between

  Eli Vastbinder x Juju, Boudreaux Campbell x WSM's Time in a Bottle and more, five riders will be challenged by bulls they've ridden in the past.
