Nick Walker defied the odds to become <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-mr-olympia-results\/\">only the 20th Mr. Olympia champion<\/a> in the sport\u2019s history. The weekend was action-packed with plenty of contenders staking their claim in the Men\u2019s Open class. <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/samson-dauda\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"samson-dauda\">Samson Dauda<\/a> improved for the finals but couldn\u2019t make up the ground he lost during prejudging.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite picking up the biggest win of his career, Walker plans to make a quick turnaround. Immediately after hoisting the Sandow trophy into the air, he revealed plans to compete at the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/nick-walker-hints-at-2027-arnold-classic-return-after-winning-mr-olympia\/\">2027 Arnold Classic<\/a>. Having finished a close runner-up last year, Walker aims to take home another massive cash prize in just a few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bob-cicherillo-shawn-ray-talk-nick-walkers-next-move-sarah-villegas\">Bob Cicherillo, Shawn Ray Talk Nick Walker\u2019s Next Move &amp; Sarah Villegas\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>In the video, Cicherillo shared that Dauda left the door open for Nick Walker to win the 2026 Mr. Olympia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.

When you make a mistake, as great as Samson is, he doesn\u2019t have to be mad that Nick Walker beat him. He should be mad because anybody could have beaten him. When you\u2019re off, you\u2019re off, and it doesn\u2019t matter who you lose to at that point.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamson has nothing to hold his head down because it is about timing. Listen, Nick Walker missed two Olympias, one to being injured and one from self-inflicted damage, and he sat on the sidelines and had to take it like a man. Samson is the number two bodybuilder on the planet today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He emphasized that \u2018timing is everything,\u2019 and that Dauda\u2019s career is far from over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cTiming is everything. It\u2019s a game of inches. This guy is not done. He\u2019s north of 40, and he just vanquished <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/andrew-jacked\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"andrew-jacked\">Andrew Jacked<\/a>, who\u2019s my bodybuilder of the year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Cicherillo and Ray, it\u2019d be a bad move for Walker to compete at the Arnold Classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, with the good comes the bad, Shawn. Nick has already thrown his hat into the ring of the Arnold. I can see that head shaking already. You know where I\u2019m going. Him and Andrew Jacked, allegedly, I heard this, but I\u00a0 take it as fact, they are going to do the Arnold. Now, I am not in support of this at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do I think this is a bad move? Rewind it one year, bingo. Samson Dauda,\u201d Cicherillo shared. \u201cIs it a good move? Yeah, there\u2019s big money on the line; we get it. But as the incumbent champ, I am not in favor of this again, for Nick. Nick don\u2019t go to the Arnold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not that dominant. All these guys have beaten him,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vpQeA-C7RWA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adds<\/a> Cicherillo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2018The Voice of Bodybuilding\u2019 added that losing the Arnold Classic would erase Walker\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEven though it\u2019s a different show, listen, it\u2019s still the Arnold. It\u2019s still the number one qualifier we have. It\u2019s the second biggest show on this earth. If you lose the Arnold, yes, technically you\u2019re still Mr. Olympia, but whatever groundswell you had, whatever momentum you had, like Samson did, comes to a screeching halt because now you\u2019re not going in as the champion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They also gave their thoughts on former Women\u2019s Physique Olympia <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/sarah-villegas\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"sarah-villegas\">Sarah Villegas<\/a> coming up short in Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.

She should really take her act to the WWE because she\u2019s a real bad guy, and let her go be the bad guy in some other federation,\u201d Ray said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still going to stick with what we said: start your own federation, do 10,000 tests, MRIs\u2014you can be the champ in your own federation for the next 20 years, and you guys can hold your fist high.
