Recap

Lunsford's victory Saturday represented a return to form for the bodybuilder, who followed up his 2023 win in the event with a disappointing third-place finish last year.

The monumental victory is the second of 2025 following his win in the Arnold Classic, where he also bested Dauda and Jacked to have his arm raised.

For the third time in his career, Choopan finished as the runner-up, falling just short of winning his own second Mr. Olympia title. The Iranian-born competitor is traditionally one of the best in his field. Still, he has also established a reputation for falling just shy of his goal, with a 2021 third-place finish to go along with his three consecutive runner-up finishes.

The story of the 2025 event may ultimately be the arrival of Jacked as a legitimate contender on bodybuilding's grand stage. The impressive Nigerian-born competitor wowed the judges on Saturday, earning a third-place finish. If he works on his on-stage stamina, he can be right back in the top three finishers next year, if not at the forefront of it.

Dauda's fourth-place finish may be the most disappointing outcome of the show as last year's winner was, arguably, in even better shape than in 2024, but failed to wow the judges in comparison to his opponents, who made greater strides in their overall performance and presence than he did.
