The next chance to qualify for the 2026 Mr. Olympia takes place this weekend. In an August 13 video, bodybuilders Iain Valliere<\/a> and Seth Feroce revealed their top 10 Men\u2019s Open predictions ahead of the Texas Pro.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The August 30 deadline is approaching, and competitors are running out of time to ensure their entries for the Mr. Olympia<\/a> contest. Last year, surging Men\u2019s Open star Jordan Hutchinson claimed gold<\/a> in the Lone Star State. He\u2019s opted not to compete at the event this year, leaving room for a new titleholder to emerge.\u00a0<\/p>\n The lineup is loaded with top-tier Men\u2019s Open threats. Regan Grimes<\/a> stands out as one of the show\u2019s frontrunners. His Classic lines and Open mass give him a unique look in the IFBB Pro League<\/a>. At the 2025 Mr. Olympia<\/a>, Grimes secured 14th place. In his last outing, he bounced back at the 2026 Mexico Pro<\/a>, taking runner-up behind Tonio Burton<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n John Jewett<\/a> is another contender easily capable of earning the Texas Pro title. During his 2025 bodybuilding season, Jewett finished fourth place at the Tampa<\/a> and Texas Pro. With more mass and improved conditioning, he aims to move up the ladder. However, it won\u2019t be a two-man show. Fans expect strong performances from Patrick Moore<\/a>, who beat Martin Fitzwater<\/a> earlier this year (Arnold Classic UK<\/a>), along with Lewis Breed<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
