Furthermore, he confidently added that he’ll make it difficult for the judges to rule out in favor of Chris Bumstead. “Chris is a great classic champion and he knows I will be on his a** and I’m gonna make it very hard for the judges to give to him again on Saturday.”

Fans are enraged by the statement

Ansley calmly walked off after making the statement. The statement, however, didn’t sit well with Bumstead’s supporters. The fans called out the bodybuilder for his words and said that he needs to humble down a bit. One user commented, “Breon has to be humble. He could be not be at this point lmao.” Another one added, “kick rocks boy!! you’re done! it’s over!!”

Quoting Ansley’s words, one enraged fan commented, “‘We probably should be tied up 3-3 hahaha’ Yeah, sounded like a joke to me too. There’s no way anyone is taking away CBUM’s title, not this year and especially not Breon. Breon made sure of that when he disrespected Chris by hanging his shirt on him. I don’t like to see anyone lose but this guy Breon? He earned it.”

However, even amid the heated situation, some came out in support of the bodybuilder. “Dam what happened to boosie,” one fan wrote. Commenting on the bodybuilder’s face, another fan wrote, “Got that sunk in dry face he might look really good this year.”
