The bodybuilder in question has won more Mr.Olympia bodybuilding competition titles than the legendary, Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Hogan was referring to none other than the bodybuilding great, Ronnie Coleman.

Coleman is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. He has an astonishing 26 IFBB professional titles to his name. He also famously won the prestigious Mr. Olympia title eight years in a row surpassing Arnold.
