Weston Rutkowksi

Weston Rutkowski was BFO’s first world champion in 2016 and followed that with title belts in 2017 and ’18. Through each phase, he battled the challenges and the challengers, all while facing aggressive fighting bulls destined to play this dangerous game. He had his skull sliced open one year and suffered three facial fractures the next, and he still laid claim to being one of the best ever.

Despite some early struggles in 2021, he found the joy again. He found the love affair with the intensity of the competition, the battle with himself as much as the battle with the bulls. Mindset made all the difference in the world to Rutkowski, who won his fourth BFO world title that year.

His pedigree is the culmination of a lifelong passion and an unrelenting work ethic. When he’s not fighting bulls, he’s training to fight bulls. When he’s not doing that, he joins other BFO shareholders in helping with aspects of the business it takes to produce the thrilling, action-packed shows for which the organization is known.
