Mr. Olympia 2022 was a roller coaster from start to finish. Fans were equally invested in every promising contender, hoping that their favorite would win. And now with the results finally out, we have the rightful holder of the title—Hadi Choopan! Winning a title as prestigious as Mr. Olympia is going to divide the room for the fans. Choopan winning is no exception.

Since the pre-judgment round, fans had been rooting for Hadi Choopan across various platforms. And now that he has finally won, here’s what fans have to say!

Fans debate the win of Hadi Choopan at the Mr. Olympia 2022

Since the beginning, fans debated between Big Ramy, Hadi Choopan, and Derek Lunsford for the winning title. Therefore, it wasn’t a surprise when Choopan was declared Mr. Olympia 2022. From widespread joy to some fans expressing their disappointment, the reactions were insane. While celebrations are en route, let’s look at some of the fan reactions.

Many fans expressed their joy in the comments. Some said, “Well deserved.. that’s what I had thought of”, “Congrats well deserved”, and “Finally he gets it so so happy for you hadi hardwork pays off”. One fan even commented about how coach Hany Rambod had a big day, exclaiming, “Hany rambod just had a huge night”. One also claimed that the winner was evident and said, “Knew something’s up when Nick took people’s champ.. Hadi took the O!!!”.

Naturally, some fans were disappointed. While it was generally agreed that Choopan deserved to be in the top 5, some did not agree with his win. Comments ranged from mildly upset like, “congrats to Hadi but man I really wanted Derek to win”, and “Ramy got robbed”, to straight-up frustrated like, “Everyone that purchased the live stream needs to be refunded.”

Although fans did not expect Big Ramy to come in at the 5th position, the top 5 were, more or less, precisely predicted. However, the fan base on Twitter had a separate set of conspiracies going on.

Did Big Ramy fall into the web of IFBB politics?

While the audience rejoiced at the win of Hadi Choopan, one could not ignore the brutal loss of Big Ramy. After all, how did the reigning champion finish fifth, instead of second or third? A fan called the competition rigged.

One fan theorized that Big Ramy fell prey to the IFBB politics.

So that was it! The Men’s Open Mr. Olympia 2022 results were announced and held some of the top contenders at a neck-to-neck battle. Hadi Choopan stood first, Derek Lunsford stood second, Nick Walker got third along with the People’s Choice award, Brandon Curry was fourth, and Big Ramy stood fifth. With Hadi Choopan now announced as the title holder, let us know who you voted for in the comments!
