Past Winners
Phil Heath will be competing to make it six titles in a row when he flexes his muscle mass in an attempt to scoop Mr Olympia again.
He will be the first athlete to complete the feat since Ronnie Coleman won eight titles from 1998 to 2005.
Heath remains the crowd favorite to win in Nevada, and it is unlikely he will be realistically challenged on Saturday night.
Arnold Classic winner Kai Greene would likely be Heath's main competition, but he will not be competing at the event after not appearing in 2015.
Dexter Jackson will also provide further competition for the big prize, and the Florida-born athlete won the Mr Olympia title in 2008.
The victory was the 46-year-old's only success at the championship, but he has remained one of the most recognisable talents on the scene.
Jackson has won multiple IFBB professional bodybuilding titles during his career and placed second last year in Greene's absence.
This is Heath's tournament to win again. The champion is in tremendous condition and will be difficult to beat on his favorite stage of the year.
