In an October 5 video, <strong>Shahriar Kamali (King Kamali) broke down how <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/nick-walker\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"nick-walker\">Nick Walker<\/a> managed to win the Sandow trophy.<\/strong> In addition, he predicted that most top Men\u2019s Open competitors will enter the 2027 Arnold Classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Walker was doubted heavily before he made his way to Las Vegas, Nevada. A year prior, \u201cThe Mutant\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2025-mr-olympia-results\/\">dropped to sixth place<\/a>, the lowest Olympia finish of his career. He bounced back impressively at the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/arnold-classic\/2026\/\">2026 Arnold Classic<\/a>, but took a close second place behind <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/andrew-jacked\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"andrew-jacked\">Andrew Jacked<\/a> (Chinedu Andrew Obiekea). It was a painful loss; Walker left without the title and missed out on a massive $750,000 winner\u2019s purse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, he returned better than ever at the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-tampa-pro-results\/\">2026 Tampa Pro<\/a>. After winning the show handily, the bodybuilding community expected him to be in the top three at the prestigious event. Ultimately, \u201cThe Mutant\u201d exceeded those expectations and nailed his peak to become the 20th Mr. Olympia. With a whole new Men\u2019s Open landscape, Kamali discussed what\u2019s ahead for the sport\u2019s top stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"king-kamali-recaps-walkers-mr-olympia-win-looks-ahead-to-2027-arnold-classic\">King Kamali Recaps Walker\u2019s Mr. Olympia Win, Looks Ahead to 2027 Arnold Classic\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>In the <em>Iron OG<\/em>\u2018s YouTube video, Kamali explained why he thinks most Men\u2019s Open stars will compete in Columbus, Ohio.\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.

For $800,000, Andrew, all the top guys are going to be there. Krizo will be there. Regan will be there. Tonio will be there. They\u2019re all going to be there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As for the Olympia, he noted that the stars aligned for Walker even though Dauda brought a winning physique to the finals:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe key about Nick Walker about this Olympia was, all the stars were aligned. I was in the second row. I was seeing and hearing, listen to what I just said, seeing and hearing everything. He was by far the fan favorite. By far, he got the loudest noise. By far, he had the most people cheering for him. Of course, he won the People\u2019s Champ Award. He just had the wind behind him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lost Saturday night. Just look at the scoresheet. Don\u2019t listen to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kamali didn\u2019t have an issue with the judging, emphasizing that it\u2019s inherently subjective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cListen, there\u2019s always something involved. There\u2019s always preference. This is a subjective sport,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jCFqwAWc98k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">shared <\/a>Kamali. \u201cIt\u2019s tricky but you have to be there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Samson walked out at the finals, the judges are hearing the comments. They are hearing, and every single body around the judging panel was like, good lord, look at Samson. They are like yeah, they can feel the tide changing just from the people\u2019s comments around.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall, he believes most IFBB Pros would rather have Dauda\u2019s physique than Walker\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSamson\u2019s arms are about 25 inches. Nick\u2019s arms are about 23, 24 inches,\u201d said Kamali. \u201cSamson in the eyes of the IFBB Olympia judges, got straight number ones across the board at the finals. If you go ask any professional bodybuilder, whose physique would you rather have: 100 percent Samson, 100 percent Nick? I\u2019d say 9 out of 10 would say Samson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Walker is making a quick turnaround at the 2027 Arnold Classic, not everyone thinks it\u2019s a wise move. <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/shawn-ray\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"shawn-ray\">Shawn Ray<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/bob-cicherillo\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"bob-cicherillo\">Bob Cicherillo<\/a> argued that <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bob-cicherillo-shawn-ray-nick-walker-shouldnt-do-2027-arnold-classic\/\">it\u2019s a mistake for Walker to compete so soon<\/a>. They believe he could lose momentum in the same way Dauda did back in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fans will get to see Walker and Dauda rematch in just a few months. The 2027 Arnold Classic takes place from March 4-7 in Columbus, Ohio.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/steve-weinberger-on-samson-dauda-nick-walker-2027-arnold-classic\/\">Steve Weinberger Says Samson Dauda Can \u2018Possibly\u2019 Beat Nick Walker at 2027 Arnold Classic<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"watch-the-full-video-from-the-iron-ogs-youtube-channel-below\"><strong><em>Watch the full video from the IRON OGs YouTube channel below:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"jCFqwAWc98k\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OLYMPIA POSING: HOW FAR IS TOO FAR? | Should Nick Walker Compete at the 2027 Arnold Classic?\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jCFqwAWc98k?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<aside class=\"fv-gnews-follow\" aria-label=\"Follow FitnessVolt\">\n<div class=\"fv-gnews-inner\">\n<p>\n                    <strong>Follow FitnessVolt<\/strong><br \/>\n                    <span>Breaking strength sports news, expert training guides, and competition coverage direct to your feed<\/span>\n                <\/p>\n<nav class=\"fv-gnews-social\" aria-label=\"FitnessVolt social media\">Also find us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FitnessVolt\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fitnessvoltnetwork\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fitness_volt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X (Twitter)<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCWHcXX6Zd8Kti_Uujn0E4Nw\/?sub_confirmation=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/nav>\n<p class=\"fv-gnews-hint\">Tip: Signed in to Google?
