The three-time Arnold Classic Champion’s fans got crazy over the news of Bonac winning and filled the comments with their immense love and support. Let’s take a look at the comeback the bodybuilder made.

A fierce battle among three bodybuilders for the crown

The open-division bodybuilder has been trying to make a comeback since 2022. He competed on the Mr. Olympia stage and secured ninth place in 2022. However, he was unsatisfied with his position and took a year off and trained the whole year. In 2024, the bodybuilder feels confident after winning the Empro Classic. But this was also not an easy victory for Bonac.

The Empro Classic Champion, the Iranian bodybuilder Behrooz Tabani, and the Slovakian bodybuilder Michal Krizanek fought fiercely for the crown. The final callout was among these three bodybuilders, who did some striking poses. The Mr. Olympia silver medalist took the crown from under their noses.

Bonac also won a prize pool of $12,000, defeating these two bodybuilders. The three-time Arnold Classic champion was in his best shape this year. Now, he aims for Mr. Olympia to prove himself. After the news of Bonac winning the title, his fans went into a frenzy, and one even claimed the Champion was 3-D printed.

Fans are impressed by Bonac’s comeback

The judges declared the Mr. Olympia silver medalist the winner, and a fan called this a “Good choice.” Continuing further, the fan commented on Bonac’s victory and called it an “insane comeback.“ Another bodybuilding enthusiast mentioned that every part of the three-time Arnold Classic Champion’s body is “popping in 3D.” He continued that “age is but a number.“

An Instagram user highlighted that “old pros” are much more capable than the new pros. He used Bonac as a norm and called him the “best example.” The Olympia silver medalist just won the Empro Classic. Fans have high hopes, and one user commented, “He’s BACK!” Another showcased his belief in the Empro Classic Champion, writing, “I knew he could pull it off!!!“

After winning the Empro Classic, Bonac aims to compete in the Mr. Olympia. He aims to perform similarly but with a more improved physique and secure a much better place. Do you think he’ll be able to do that? Let us know in the comments.
