Ramon Rocha Queiroz, A.K.A., Ramon Dino, is the new Classic Physique champion of the 2023 Arnold Classic. After two intense rounds of posing routines in front of the judges, Dino finally inscribed his name in bodybuilding history. In fact, he still remains the number-one competitor of Mr. Olympia Classic Physique Chris Bumstead. Thus, they are considered the biggest competitor of each other.

Although, from Dino’s recent post, it was evident that the two don’t feel the same way. They took a picture while hitting up the gym at the same time. Did they become friends? Let’s check out.

Bumstead has been winning the coveted Mr. Olympia classic physique title for four years now. But in the 2022 event, experts and netizens thought there was another bodybuilder who was emerging as a title contender. The Brazilian fitness pro became the talk of the town. IFBB veteran Samir Bannout implied that Dino had the ability to dethrone Bumstead. As he stated, “I mean, Cbum needs to improve his arms a little bit, if he does is going to be much more deadly”. In addition, when asked about the features of Chris’s physique, Bannout shared, “No! No!… Do I want Chris Bum’s body or Ramon’s? I want Ramon’s body.”

Evidently, that signified the ongoing rivalry between the two even more. But they debunked all the rumors and posted a picture together, differentiating on-stage rivalry from that of real life. On 8th March 2023, Ramon Dino took to his Instagram to share their photograph with the caption, “Sh*ts crazy my man!”, tagging CBum on it. In that image, Ramon Rocha Queiroz was wearing a funky and hilarious crocodile mask and was posing while seated, and CBum was standing behind, lifting his arms to show his muscles.
