2025 Preview

Samson Dauda is in the best shape of his entire career entering this year's show and will be among the favorites to leave Las Vegas with the victory in this year's competition.
With that said, he has tremendous competition, with three legitimate contenders based on Saturday morning's prejudinging.
Dauda shined, but shared the stage in the final call-out with Derek Lunsford, the 2023 winner. Hadi Choopan, the 2022 winner, and the appropriately named Andrew Jacked joined them before that, giving fans a hint of the four competitors who captured the judges' collective eye ahead of Saturday night's finals.
Nicker and Martin Fitzwater were part of the first call outs, further muddying the waters and suggesting that this year's field may be the most unpredictable and hard to forecast a winner from in years.
Still, Dauda is a physical specimen and if he has worked on his on-stage stamina, he will have a chance to become the first champion to repeated in four years.
