In the world of bodybuilding, rivalries and camaraderie often intertwine. Recently, the spotlight shifted to Hadi Choopan, who took to Instagram to showcase his sculpted physique in a playful video. With a caption teasing his imminent return to full throttle, Choopan’s post captured the attention of none other than Milos Sarcev, the former coach of Samson Dauda.
Choopan’s video was accompanied by a caption that read, “I’m off, let me rest and the engines will start, it’ll be jet speed, let’s go my love.” In response, Milos Sarcev left a comment that was simple yet impactful. Sarcev commended Choopan’s physique, noting the emergence of “new lines and feathers.”
This interaction carries weight, especially considering the history between Sarcev and Dauda, who recently parted ways following Dauda’s defeat at the hands of Choopan in the Arnold Classic, Ohio. The competition marked Choopan’s debut on the Arnold Classic stage, and despite Dauda being the defending champion, he fell short against the Persian Wolf.

The loss evidently had repercussions, as Sarcev took to social media days later to announce the end of his partnership with Dauda. The exchange between Sarcev and Choopan underscores the mutual respect within the bodybuilding community.

While Dauda may have encountered a setback, his former coach’s acknowledgment of Choopan’s physique reflects a recognition of talent and dedication in the field. Even after Choopan’s controversial exit from the 2023 Mr. Olympia, the Serbian bodybuilder openly defended him.

During an interview with Dave Palumbo, the IFBB Pro coach was asked about Hadi Choopan’s reaction after losing the championship. Sarcev responded, suggesting Choopan might have had a hearing problem and wanted to address it. “Well listen, I mean he has a hearing problem maybe he just wanted to get it,” said Sarcev. He compared Choopan’s reaction to that of Flex Wheeler when Ronnie Coleman won. Sarcev also analyzed Choopan’s mindset, saying he could have been a multiple-time champion but fell short.
