Before Mr. Olympia 2022, reigning champion Big Ramy was a fan favorite to win the prestigious title again. However, opposite to everyone’s popular belief, the Egyptian bodybuilder failed to win the title. While many felt Ramy had peaked too early, upcoming bodybuilder Zack Khan had a different opinion.

During an interview, Khan claimed that Ramy did not get to lose like a champion. He blamed the Mr. Olympia judges and social media for the same. Here is what he stated.

Who is to blame for Big Ramy’s defeat?

Recently, Zack Khan, an upcoming bodybuilder from Pakistan, had featured on the Muscular Development Magazine’s YouTube channel. During this chat, the host asked about Khan’s views on the recent Mr. Olympia 2022 championships. The IFFB pro bodybuilder immediately talked about Big Ramy’s loss and empathized with the former champion.

Khan believed that Ramy got robbed of a chance to show off his skills on the big stage. He said, “The right person won, but the sh*t thing about it is when you are the champion of the previous year everybody should get a chance to knock the champion off.” He alleged that the judges did not allow Ramy to pose enough against his big rivals. “They didn’t give him enough chances to pose next to Hadi, Nick, Derek, and Samson,” stated Khan. 

Right before the final round, fans professed Big Ramy was going to win the title but then took a ‘U-turn’ after seeing the other top five competitors. Hence, Khan also suggested that social media influenced the judge’s mistreatment towards Ramy. “Social media is a f*ck up with these kinds of situations, and it influences the judges a lot whether you like it or not. I think it plays a big part,” the young bodybuilder remarked.

While others are still debating over Big Ramy’s shocking Mr. Olympia defeat, the veteran bodybuilder has already started his journey for redemption.

After his fifth-place finish, several legendary bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger and others talked about what might have gone wrong for the champion bodybuilder. Amidst all this, Ramy accepted his defeat with great sportsmanship and moved forward.

To begin with, the star bodybuilder underwent ‘Stem Cell Therapy’ used to repair damaged cells and reduces inflammation. Champion bodybuilders such as Ronnie Coleman and Chris Bumstead have also received this treatment in the past. Besides, after a late entry, Big Ramy has begun his preparation for the upcoming Arnold Classic 2023 championships.
