Heath explained how it was the fans of both bodybuilders that led to the heightening of the rivalry between them. While talking about what happened between him and Greene, the former Arnold Classic winner brought about the example of a high school fight. “Now we’re at lunchtime looking at each other fu**ked up you know what I mean then by 3:15 you know at school we’re in the parking lot getting ready to fight and we don’t know why I felt like that with Kai,” Heath explained.

The seven-time Mr. Olympia also talked about how he felt about being the only guy standing in Greene’s way to winning titles. He explained that he felt responsible about this and acknowledged Greene’s anger towards him. “This is the only motherfu**ker that I have to beat to be the best the best in the world at something,” Heath said.
The host asked Heath if the 300-pound mass monster could have won the Olympia. Heath made a shocking reveal and said,” He could have beat me in 2014 if he didn’t start that fight.” He explained that Greene could have scored more points on Friday and entered the show with almost the same score on Saturday. That Friday, Heath had a feeling that Greene might end up doing something silly, and they did at the press conference.

At the 2014 Mr. Olympia press conference, both athletes were given turns to give three facts about how they were better than others. On being asked the three facts, Greene replied, “Fact one, we’ll outweigh him by 40 pounds; Fact two, we’ll be wider; Fact three, it’s all over from the rear, and that’s just it, and how’s it gonna be.”
