The bodybuilding community is getting behind Ugolnikov ‘Good Vito’ Vitalii’s chances at the 2025 Mr. Olympia. In a Prime Time Muscle podcast aired on July 3, 2025, Terrick El Guindy predicted Good Vito would make the first callout and possibly defeat Nick Walker.
For years, fans were curious how Good Vito would adapt to the stiff competition in the IFBB Pro League. In 2025, he answered those questions. He was crowned the Arnold Classic South America champion and, thanks to the victory, nailed down his qualification to his first-ever Mr. Olympia contest.
Having been compared to a young Jay Cutler, Good Vito’s ceiling is sky-high in the Men’s Open. With the biggest event of the year approaching in 14 weeks, El Guindy joined Milos Sarcev to discuss how he might fare against the rugged density of hard conditioning of Nick Walker.

“Video footage is not the same. I can only imagine the mass monster that he is [Nick Walker] and Good Vito contesting him. He’d be called out right next to him and people would see how good he is,” explains Milos Sarcev.
El Guindy went a step further, predicting that Good Vito would make the first callout at the 2025 Mr. Olympia and possibly beat Walker.
“I’m speculating. I think this guy can be on the first callout of the 2025 Mr. Olympia. I think if he’s next to Nick Walker people are going to be shocked.
I think Nick Walker is the big mass monster that hits the side chest and overpowers everybody, then this guy is going to come up and he’s going to hit some poses, and he might beat Nick,” shared Terrick El Guindy.
Additionally, El Guindy highlighted that Good Vito has some of the largest clavicle bones in the league, which adds power to his structure in the front double biceps pose.
“I think his clavicle bones are the largest in bodybuilding. When he hits his front double biceps, nobody has the distance on the clavicles. Does he have a small waist like Samson Dauda? No, he doesn’t. I think his waist improved because he was more conditioned at the Arnold Classic [South America].”
There’s mounting curiosity around Good Vito’s next performance. While he was supposed to compete at the Pittsburgh Pro, he had to withdraw from the event after injuring his lat. Despite that, he still hopes to turn in a dominant Mr. Olympia performance.
Time will tell if Good Vito can carve out a spot in the first callout. The 2025 Mr. Olympia will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from October 9-12.
