Jimmy Mentis discussed the upcoming Olympia along with some other topics around bodybuilding.
Jimmy Mentis is a former IFBB professional bodybuilder who has kept up with the happenings around the sport. Recently, he joined Chris Cormier and others to discuss the upcoming Olympia competition.
The 2022 Olympia is scheduled for Dec. 15-18 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. The Men’s Open division is expected to be as deep as ever with many newcomers bursting onto the scene. This includes Michal Krizo and Andrew Jacked, who both qualified quickly after earning their Pro Cards.
Big Ramy is considered the favorite once again after winning the previous two Sandow Trophies. He has been working to bring the best version of himself to the stage and many consider him to be unbeatable.
Jimmy Mentis Makes Top 6 Predictions
Jimmy Mentis joined the Muscle and Fitness YouTube channel to make his predictions for the Olympia. Like many others, Mentis believes that Ramy is destined to win his third consecutive title.
- First Place – Big Ramy
- Second Place – Hadi Choopan
- Third Place – William Bonac
- Fourth Place – Brandon Curry or Hunter Labrada
- Fifth Place – Brandon Curry or Hunter Labrada
- Sixth Place – Samson Dauda
“I got Big Ramy winning it. I don’t think anybody’s going to touch him. I don’t think anyone is going to come close to him because I think Chad and him have put the stake in the ground.”

Jimmy Mentis than mentioned William Bonac, who finished as the runner-up during the Arnold Classic. There were talks that Bonac had the best package on stage and should have been crowned the winner over Brandon Curry.
Mentis has Bonac second, followed by a combination of Curry and Hunter Labrada.
“There’s something about Bonac this year that feels that he needs to, I wouldn’t doubt that he’s pulling a Kevin Levrone and sleeping the floor every night.”
“I love Brandon but I think he’s going to be too tired. Too many times, he’s going to be too tired. I have him fourth or fifth with Hunter.”

Rounding out the top six, Mentis believes Samson Dauda will jump into the mix. He mentioned that he is a fan of Andrew Jacked but does not believe that he will be there this year.
