Bodybuilder Wesley Vissers is keeping his options open in the IFBB Pro League. In a YouTube video on April 26, 2026, he discussed a potential move to the Men\u2019s Open class with former four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years, Wesley Vissers<\/a> has been cutting his teeth in the Classic Physique circuit. Nicknamed \u2018The Dutch Oak,\u2019 many believe he shares a likeness to bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>. In 2026, Vissers re-solidified himself as an Olympia contender, thanks to a dominant victory at the Arnold Classic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vissers could have sat out to improve for Olympia, but wanted more reps onstage. He picked up another win at the Detroit Pro and battled Mike Sommerfeld<\/a> at the 2026 Arnold Classic UK<\/a>. Ultimately, Vissers settled for a silver medal, but plans to use the setback as fuel when he makes his way to Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the video, Cutler joked about Vissers jumping into the Fibo Championships. Vissers was receptive to a potential Open move, saying, \u201cMaybe sooner than later, who knows?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed, bro, you should have slid in the Open here [at the Fibo Pro]. I\u2019m just waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting\u2026\u201d laughed<\/a> Jay Cutler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, Open\u2026 for sure, it\u2019s going to happen. Maybe sooner than later, who knows? Let\u2019s see how this Olympia goes. But I\u2019m very excited for it, for sure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Surprisingly, Vissers wouldn\u2019t be the only rising Classic Physique star to make a switch. German sensation Urs Kalecinski decided to jump ship and test the Open waters last season. He found remarkable success, having laid claim to back-to-back victories at the Italy Pro<\/a> and Europa Pro Championships<\/a>. \u201cThe Miracle Bear\u201d capped off the year with a 13th-place finish at the Mr. Olympia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, reigning Classic Physique Olympia Ramon \u2018Dino\u2019 Queiroz has also teased a possible move to the Open. However, the Brazilian star made his bodybuilding goals clear: he wants to extend his reign atop Classic Physique for five years<\/a> before mixing it up in the stacked Men\u2019s Open class.<\/p>\n

While Vissers and Queiroz have signaled interest in the Open, the same cannot be said for Mike Sommerfeld. The two-time Classic Physique Olympia runner-up didn\u2019t mince words. He emphasized that he is Classic and will forever be Classic<\/a>. He added that he\u2019d only consider an Open show as a treat to fans and for his own self-fulfillment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Time will tell if Vissers makes the Men\u2019s Open move. For now, his focus is solely on the 2026 Mr. Olympia<\/a>, set for September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
