Phil Heath wins his seventh consecutive Mr. Olympia title. But fans and many in attendance believed Big Ramy deserved the win instead, yet despite that fact, the Egyptian bodybuilder had to settle for second place.
It seems that the fans are up in arms and many believe that there is favoritism being shown to the long-reigning champion.
Watch the above video, a very humble Big Ramy interviewed by NPC’s Tony Doherty.

true winner
Yup.
Well he’s the true winner so….
Agreed
Like him so much, very true..
much needed comment!
He’s the real Champ !
Robbed
I believe Phil will win next year and then after that big ramy will have his reign. Ramy is still very young to the sport and he has only made great improvements. Shit he’s gone from 8th,7th,5th,4th now 2nd
Big Ramy u r the champ man
Should have been 3rd….but he still looked good!
Big Ramy is a class act and acts like a champion. Nothing but hats off to this mass monster
True champion !
Big Ramy can’t seem to smash Phil Heath
Lol
Big Ramy is the true winner
Gamal Osman
Yeah Awesome post thanks so much
Big Ramy is the champion. People’s champion.
absolutely correct
Phil is actually the champion. Winners always have the most haters, remember that.
Phil has the most gut … remember that..
Mr. Stanford, so by your comment Ramy has replaced Kai as the people’s champion, because that is what they said about Kai when he didn’t win?
Leonardo Nickaprio very true. Didn’t like that at all. Ramy is very good at controlling his gut, Phil not so much. But the conditioning Phil brings is undeniably better and more crisp. A lot of bodybuilding shows are win from the back and nobody can come close to phill from the calves and hammies to his back is just insane. If ramy can nail that conditioning Phil brings minus the gut he wins all day long. But your right, I hate the guts in this sport but as much as they eat it’s pretty dam impossible for their not to be a gut.
Austin Deadmond not hating at all. Just think Ramy should have won.
I tried watching 3 times and 3 times a stupid fucken advertising’ pops up on my phone.
Class act an awesome ambassador of the sport …..but we’re stuck with the prick again
Valuable Post
Class act! Cheated due to politics but a champion.
Thats the future of bodybuilding right there. Humble, respectful and appreciative.
Ramy shoulda won
Next year
People talk shit about Phil. Trash talking is part of any sport. He is a good dude outside the realm of competition. Trash talking makes every sport more entertaining. Quit being so fucking sensitive. You don’t like the man beat him! Shut him up that way. Until then he deserves to talk his shit.
Phil is arrogant as hell. Did anyone else see his little vids he made for Luimarco? What a wanker.
#2 was #1 at Mr. U 2017 Finals!
Heath tore that up. Gotta love the champ. Ramy can follow in Kai Greene’s footsteps and start talking about hard times and never actually winning the Olympia. Heath is the perfect champion
Sounds like you have the arrogant personality to match his. Well done
You’re an idiot
Only thing Heath tore up was his bubble gut!!!
7x champion. Clearly superior. I didn’t realise men who go to the gym would have such fragile feelings and high estrogen levels.
James Castle go change your tampon
Gut lover
Lol you’ve upset a lot of people James!
Daniel James seems even the bodybuilding industry is comprised of snow flake fantasists ?
Its a bad example for the sport of bodybuilding to let a man with unstable midsection to win the biggest competition of bodybuilding in the world. Bodybuilding Is suppose to be a beautiful shaped as those crazy shaped statues with a tiny waist midsection!
I cannot imagine Phil Heath winning another Sandow Statue! They are killing the passion to mr. O!
Kim Ujarak Hard Lorentzen
He is not judged on when he is relaxed and when you compare Heath to any of the others he is a different level. He should win it for a while unless someone else bursts on to the scene as the current lot have no chance.
I genuinely think Ramy has found his niche and will make a good Kai lite. A lot of people just don’t like Heath and will support the nearest rival. If Ramy can get the waterworks flowing like Kai he will have a good side show career as Heath picks up more O’s
There’s no space on the judges score sheet the label humility. Everyone is being selective with their support in these comments. Athletes are loved and cherished as long as the fans feel they are under their control and submissive to them. It’s a business it’s about marketing it’s about driving and Industry. The money the level of Interest what started and driven by the legendary Muhammad Ali who have other fans buying tickets with there to see him defeated the other half was there to see him win the object was for the place to be sold out. It is human nature. The villain the hero, the Savior the Destroyer, at the end of the day everyone is transferring their support to their combatant against Phil. They Don’t Really support anyone first it was green he couldn’t get it done so their next great hope is Ramy. All the hypocrisy
You’re wrong my man, he’s come up quick and ain’t slowing down.
James Castle Phil Heaths midsection pop out when he does front double biceps, it does when he hits side chest, from front lat spread, worst is abs and thighs. He cannot control it! Ill have him loosing in all those mandatorys if i were a judge.
1st place actually
I love Big Ramy. At the press conference Ramy said he was going to bring something that ppl have never seen. Phil Heath’s reply was thst Ramy wasn’t gonna do $h!t. Ramy brought it..and Phil got some benefits of the doubt based in his status. It could have easily been Ramy’s title bc Phil has superior genetics but Ramy came in superior condition. That’s just the truth!
He had Phil sweating too. You could tell he was nervous
I have never seen Phil that nervous even when Kai beates him in 2014
From the back I must admit, Ramy had no chance. But, and it’s a big but, he came in with many improvements! 2nd place worthy this year, absolutely.
Next year he needs better conditioning through his lower back and Hamstrings, and personally I think he should devote some time to ab training.
“The Gut” Phil shouldn’t win this one at all was pregnant the whole show bubble gut but freaking politics stands with him since kai
You can’t ignore Ramy’s ‘lack from the back’ just like you can’t ignore Phil’s ‘gut in the front’! Both guys had some deficiencies. Th e benefit if the doubt us always gonna go to the reigning champ….so while I really loved Ramy’s show, he needed to be perfect, as the draw is gonna go to the champ. That’s not just here but everywhere in life. Ramy is gonna be a f’n beast next year…phil will have Ramy I’m mind to 1st back his eye if the tiger that he may have lost, as he k is it’s hard to beat the hungry!
I’ve been seeing the pics and can clearly see why Phil took it…even from the front, his chest and and were better conditioned…even with the gut, in the poses his and were much better than Ramy’s…remember you are only scored in the poses not when you let your gut out….i bet they both come in crazy condition next year
Ok so he’s not a sore loser, people don’t like heath because he’s won it the last 7 times and they want a new champion. All these top pro bodybuilders have a gut, Lui Marco is just trolling Heath about it and it worked.
no..people like ramy because he is humble and a very down to earth guy…on the other hand philsuilna is an arrogant prick that did zero for the sport as an ambassador
Lui really got to Phil.
Big Ramy we you brother ! True champion !
THIS IS WHY HE WONT WIN.. PURE BS MAN HE SMOKED PHIL IN EVERY POSE.
Kazimierz Marszalek
He should have won!
Poor bloke sounds hungry and dehydrated!!
The most humble , kind and beast bodybuilder, the real Mr.Olympia 2017
Ramy cums across humble his time will cum he has 2b patient x
I recommend cycle for muscle gain bulking cycle cutting and fat burn send me a friend request if u are interested.
Everybody is talking about Ramy and Heath but there is only one man that should have won and that’s Bonac! Bonac had no weak points,came in with the best condition! Ramy lost to Phil because of his back,hams and calves and should have been 3rd! Bonac is the real champion!
Well the problem with Bonac is the same as Dexter…best conditioning, bad genetics.
Big Ramy deserves the title … He is the one

All class
great human
Even though I’m a Phil Heath fan, I can honestly say Ramy, you should’ve won and you’ve now got a new fan!
You cannot hate Ramy at all!
Michael Muraglia Floyd Dorrego Jr this is the interview I saw. You can see he is so nice but English is awful. The exact reason why Phil got his gift
Very classy guy!! English not too too bad!!??Big Boy!!
Yea i saw that but regardless he cant market the ifbb like phil can. Until it gets to be undeniable that phils physique isnt good anymore he will keep winning because of that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOloaIzd4W4&feature=share
This is why everyone hates you! Your not a true champion ^^^
Ramy your a class act man..Real gentleman.Great for the sport.
BIG RAMY IS A MUSLIM, AND THE QURAN TELLS HIM TO KILL INFIDELS LIKE ME AND YOU. DO YOU CALL THAT HUMBLE? ALLAH IS A STONE STATUE THAT THE FALSE PROPHET MUHAMMAD CHOSE OUT FROM 360 IDOLS FROM KABBAH MECCA. THIS IS NO JOKE. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY LOVING LIVING LORD AND SAVIOR. EVERY ONE THAT DOES NOT LOVE AND WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE, ALSO CALLED ‘HELL’. AND YOU CAN NEVER DIE, NEVER DIE, NEVER DIE !!!
So in stead of being killed you’ll get eternal agony, seems pretty fucked up to me. All religion is a bunch of shit.
Lake of fire. Lololololololol thats some funny sci-fi shit right there

Awwww
Big Ramy,what a gentleman.He is my Champion.Politics or no politics this guy is good in this sport, period.
True winner Ramy, Heath should relinquish his title !!
Luis A. Saenz he should’ve won
Dean Gary Coetzee bro he is so so humble bro and it was so so tight I think you looked just as good as Heath just heaths core was a bit more conditioned but Rahme was bigger and bolder. RAHME deserves to win !
Unlucky Jason Jude Rahme next year maybe
Phill looked like classic physique competitor next to ramy, never the less phill had a more complete package, but ramy is coming for him , with a thicker back and same conditioning there’s no doubt its ramy’s
He cant even breath right
So his first name is Big?
Next year it will be Big ramy to win!
U r the true winner..
Ramy–Best physique in this year Olympia
What a gentleman. Hope 18 is his year.
hope this guy wins next year , but thats if the powers that be will let him , think he will need to bring that good a look that even the judges cant fix it though
Marino Belava dobar covik , ja bi onome iscupa drob a ovi miran cili 🙂
A mi el mejor !!!!!
How old is Big Ramy does anyone know?
Amazing guy, on n off the stage. Humble and great… no 1 next year hopefully.
Andrew Riley
Mr Olympia isn’t a popularity or personality contest. But it’s always good to be a good guy. Who doesn’t like Jay Cutler?
Cocky Phil bubblegut heath should learn from this humble man whose legitimate claim to the sandow was denied unfairly…A true champion…!!!
Ramy and Phil are like chalk and cheese – polar opposites!
He probably should have beat Phil for all we know. But only the people who were there will know because being there compared to seeing pictures is a whole different perspective. Pictures don’t show the details that you can see in person. Having said that, even if Ramy’s physique was superior to Phil’s, politics will give Phil the win because they won’t have a Mr O ambassador that doesn’t speak english. Sucks but it’s the truth…
It’s
Why he will
Be the real champ soon. The peoples champ not the Politics champ.
Karl Michael Canniff
I’m a fan. He’s a good dude no doubt
Ramy should have won
