The reason that http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/24/bushwacker-michael-jordan-bulls-276748.html says he has only been ridden once on the BFTS series is because it says it is only talking about the last 5 years. Article was written in 2014. That means the article is talking about years 2010 - 2014 when he was a fully mature bull. His first year on tour in 2009, he was 3 years old and still not quite full grown. He was ridden twice in October of 2009 in Las Vegas. Both times were on the PBR. One was on the BFTS, and one was not.


 * He was ridden by Markus Mariluch on the PBR (not BFTS) Las Vegas Oct. 2009.
 * He was ridden by Thiago Paguioto on the PBR BFTS Las Vegas Oct. 2009.
 * He was ridden by J.B. Mauney on the PBR BFTS Tulsa, OK, Aug 2013.

So, he was ridden twice on the BFTS and 3 times at all levels. Or 1 time not on the BFTS level.

Here's a PBR article that says he was ridden by three people, so you don't have to just trust probullstats:
