The big thing to notice is that there is no mention of Kai Greene in the Men’s Open lineup. This might change down the line – but perhaps we won’t get another Cedric McMillan vs Kai Greene face off. If Kai doesn’t stand in his way – it seems there will be nothing stopping Cedric from landing a first place win.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. For now it’s just a list and we’ll have to wait until March to see the actual physiques on stage.
