2025 Predictions

It would not be surprising if Dauda repeated as Mr. Olympia in 2025.

A tireless worker who arrived in Las Vegas in the best shape of his life, he wrested the crown away from the two previous champions in an emphatic statement from the 32-year-old.

It also would be equally unsurprising if he did not repeat, thanks to the recent trend in the competition.

For decades, the Mr. Olympia event was defined by its repeat winners. Arnold Schwarzenegger captured seven straight titles. Ronnie Coleman set the benchmark at eight wins. Dorian Yates, Phil Heath and Lee Haney all won multiple times.

Since Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay won in 2020 and 2021, the event has seen a different winner each year.

That is a testament to the depth and quality of the competition.

Choopan is, arguably, the most consistent bodybuilder in the sport and could have earned the nod from judges in each of the last two years.

It would surprise no one if the workhorse returned to Vegas in a year and regained the Mr. Olympia title, adding a second to his resume.

Ditto for Lunsford, who won a year ago but saw himself slip to third in this year's competition amid one of the strongest fields in years.

The one name worth watching is the fourth-place finisher and internet personality Martin Fitzwater.

"The Martian" had great energy and was a fan favorite in Vegas. With a year of continuing to fine-tune his body and work on his overall presentation, he could finish in the top two and pose a legitimate threat to the title.

With all of that said, Choopan is such a consistent top-four competitor that he would have to be considered one of the early favorites to win next year's event.
