Samson Dauda is the talk of the town for a good reason. Flashing 330 pounds, the Nigerian-born bodybuilder posed his stacked physique in a mirror, comparing himself to Thanos. In the realm of bodybuilding, it is an extremity for bodybuilders to have a chiseled body. Thus, the splendor and magnificence come naturally, when an athlete puts up the rigorous effort with their well-sought out workout regimen. 

As Mr. Olympia is approaching its full tilt, fans, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts are wagering on their favorites. While the Nigerian-lion is best known for clinching the title of Arnold Classic 2023, trouncing Nick Walker, Dauda still calls for back training sessions. The mass monster posted one of the Instagram stories, wherein his close friend was applauding his hard work and his Dunkirk spirit, the struggles that he had gone through, claiming the love and respect he owed to Samson Dauda.

While the mass monster is warming up for the forthcoming prestigious competition, @chrisjones.1975 posts a collage of the legend Samson Dauda, comparing Dauda in 2010 when he was skinny, and out-of-shape and now, with his shredded, muscular, and all pumped-up physique. Chris writes an overwhelming caption on the story, quoting, “This man, my good friend @samson___dauda will be Mr. Olympia. It’s just a matter of time. So much love and respect for this man as I have seen all the struggles, all the way through from day one. Never a more humble champion either- the people’s champ. 

Samson’s friend highlights his humble beginning with a tough start and when things were not favorable. He goes on to emphasize, “Let’s make history. Let’s finish what we started all those years ago.” Seems like Samson Dauda is on a sortie and there is no coming back till he gets through to the crest. 

A month ago, Dauda posted a short clip, wherein the bodybuilding icon is filming himself in front of the mirror. In spite of the fact that the mirror was located far away and the lighting wasn’t good enough, Samson’s massive physique bears a resemblance to Thanos, as he quotes, “In the words of Thanos, I’m inevitable.” As the most prominent event is around the corner, the Nigerian lion is brimming with confidence. Nevertheless, he will have face-offs with Nick Walker, Big Ramy, Andrew Jacked, and other eminent opponents. 

The struggle between Nick Walker & Samson Dauda

In ‘The Menace Podcast,’ Milos Sarcev, the coach of Samson Dauda had a head-to-head with Guy Cisternino, Dennis James, and Chris Cormier about the two bodybuilding legends who are going to share the stage in the upcoming competition. Moreover, when Nick Walker was explicitly questioned that who would be a better opponent for him, he responded with a brutal comment saying, “ Samson Dauda having S*** Back.”

On the 35th Arnold Classic, all eyes were set on Nick Walker, Andrew Jacked, and Samson Dauda. However, Nick stated, “I already had my hopes high. I’m like, ‘oh my God, I just won this shit.’ Then they said, ‘second place Nick Walker,’ and I was just like… what? It hurt.” Nevertheless, Dauda’s lower body, and aesthetic physique led him to victory.

One of the coaches, Chris Aceto, sided with Walker and said that he had to encounter two bodybuilders much taller than him. Chris believed that Walker would have defeated Dauda in case it was one-on-one.
