Nick Walker isn\u2019t short on confidence heading into his fourth Mr. Olympia contest. In an August 5 YouTube video, he predicted he\u2019d win the 2026 Mr. Olympia even if every competitor brings their absolute best physique.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walker pushed through a turbulent 2025 bodybuilding season. He secured second place at the Pittsburgh Pro<\/a> against Derek Lunsford<\/a>. To earn his way back to the Olympia, he claimed gold at the New York Pro<\/a> for a third time. When he made his way to the \u2018Super Bowl of Bodybuilding,\u2019 Walker mistimed his peak and dropped to sixth place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In March, he restored his momentum with a close second-place finish behind Andrew Jacked<\/a> (Chinedu Andrew Obiekea) at the 2026 Arnold Classic<\/a>. He also became the latest Men\u2019s Open bodybuilder to qualify for the Olympia following his dominant Tampa Pro<\/a> victory. With under eight weeks until the best in the world collide, Walker laid out his expectations for the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nick Walker Says He Wins 2026 Mr. Olympia Even If Everyone Is at 100%\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In the OlympiaTV<\/em> YouTube video, Dennis James asked Walker about his biggest threat. Walker predicted he\u2019d win the Olympia even if all his rivals came in at 100 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody. Because you know what I\u2019m tired of? I\u2019m tired of everyone saying everyone has to be off for me to win. If everyone is on 100 percent, I will fucking win, and that\u2019s that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Walker shared that if he wasn\u2019t in the show, Lunsford would most likely emerge victorious:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cProbably Derek,\u201d replied<\/a> Walker. \u201cDerek is the only one I haven\u2019t beaten.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked about who would place second, Walker dismissed the question and doubled down on his prediction to win:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDon\u2019t know, don\u2019t care because I\u2019ll be winning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Walker, he has to present an undeniable package and create an \u2018oh shit\u2019 moment to claim his first Sandow trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have to be undeniable at that show. I have to walk out on that stage and make it known that I just won. The same way I just did Tampa, the same way I was at the 2021 Arnold, I have to walk out and people go oh shit, this is even better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bodybuilding veterans favor Walker\u2019s chances against Lunsford. King Kamali called Walker a \u2018nightmare\u2019 matchup for Lunsford<\/a> and Hadi Choopan. He argued that Walker\u2019s muscularity and stronger back poses could give him the edge onstage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between Lunsford, Choopan, Jacked, and Samson Dauda, Walker has his work cut out for him. All questions will be answered at the 2026 Mr. Olympia, set for September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
