While praising Hadi Choopan, Cutler raised the point that even if one competitor is exceptionally shredded but lacks aesthetic appeal, it becomes a “coin toss” for the judges. The former Arnold Classic champion highlighted the subjectivity of judging, noting that the panel often has differing opinions, leading to the necessity of multiple judges.

However, Cutler made it clear that his view doesn’t diminish Choopan’s standing, he recognized the Persian Wolf, as “he’s still the front runner because he is the returning.”  Manager Matt chimed in, citing Choopan’s previous victory over Samson as a crucial factor. Yet, despite acknowledging Hadi as a front-runner, Cutler stuck to his guns, and said, “I love Hadi… but like dude, Samson owns the show right now.”

Not only did the bodybuilding beast predict the winner of the Arnold Classic, but the current Mr. Olympia also selected his top three placements at the show.
