Last year, the 2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Open Bodybuilding results saw Brandon Curry cement himself as a two-time champion. Meanwhile, William Bonac, brought arguably one of his most conditioned packages to date. Despite Bonac’s impeccable lower body, Curry’s shape guided him to the victory. 

Curry decided not to defend his title in Ohio this year. Therefore, a new champion was crowned. Heading into the contest, many fans and veterans of the sport acknowledged Nick Walker, Big Ramy, Samson Dauda, Andrew Jacked and Shaun Clarida as favorites.

During the finals, it was a three-man battle between Walker, Dauda and Jacked. After a very close contest, Samson Dauda secured his first AC title and won $300,000 while Nick Walker finished second. Additionally, Andrew Jacked placed third and Big Ramy walked away in fourth.
