Today, Big Ramy will enter his 6th Mr.Olympia hoping to make history and finally topple his arch rival Phil Heath, the seven time Mr.Olympia winner and arguably the greatest bodybuilder in our era. Heath dominated The Olympia stages every year from 2011 to 2017 tying him with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the third all-time number of wins behind Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman.

Big Ramy will enter this year's Mr.Olympa at 310 pounds and stated that this is the leanest he has ever been and declared he will be making history this year as the first Egyptian to ever win the Mr.Olympia title. Big Ramy was able to win second place in last year's competition, but he's willing to bring a whole new package to the game.
