Big Ramy Poses For First Time Since Winning Olympia
Big Ramy made a recent appearance as a guest poser on stage.
A bodybuilding competition in Egypt would not be complete without the presence of the reigning two-time Olympia champion. The 2021 KO Pro Egypt took place on Sunday in Egypt and Big Ramy made an appearance on stage for the first time since winning the Olympia in October. He arrived as a guest poser and showed off his prize-winning physique.
Big Ramy took the stage with plenty of praise from the crowd and chants of his name. He performed a posing routine for close to two minutes for fans in his home country.
Leading up to the event, Big Ramy continued to be a big storyline because of the competition taking place in Egypt. He has become a superstar because of his work on the biggest stage. Big Ramy won the 2021 Olympia and successfully defended his title. This is something that he plans to do for years to come.
It is no surprise that fans in Egypt gave Big Ramy a warm welcome on stage. This has been the case since he took home the Olympia title. Big Ramy’s hometown of Kafr El Sheikh decided that the biggest square in the city would be named after him. Also, there was a huge welcome once Big Ramy returned from Orlando. There was staff waiting in the airport along with fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of the champion.
At the Egypt Pro, Regan Grimes took home the prize in Men’s Open. This earned him an automatic bid to the 2022 Olympia where he will have a chance to go up against Big Ramy. Grimes has displayed an incredible physique and has made progress in a short time since hiring a new coach.
Grimes finished first in this event after placing second last weekend during the 2021 Legion Sports Fest Pro. Now that he has his qualification, he can focus on preparing for the Olympia, which is set to take place in December 2022.
Big Ramy will not be an easy competitor to beat. It was confirmed last week that the reigning champion has already started training. This is about 14 months out from the Olympia. Heading into the 2021 show, Big Ramy had just three months of training after an extended period of time off. This is a scary sight for opponents if Big Ramy is preparing this far out in advance.
It is only right that Big Ramy made an appearance on stage this weekend. He showed why he is the Olympia champ and that fans are in for a treat next time he steps on stage. There is no doubt that there will be plenty of physique updates as training progresses.

2021 KO Pro Egypt Results
Regan Grimes wins Men’s Open at the KO Pro Egypt!
Regan Grimes showed up and displayed an incredible physique that led him to the title at the 2021 KO Pro Egypt. Grimes earned the automatic qualification to the 2022 Olympia, along with three other divisions. This event took place in Egypt and some of the top competition in the world was present.
Grimes led the way by taking home the prize in the headlining division. Grimes hired a new coach after this year’s Olympia and it seems to be working right away. He finished second to Shaun Clarida last weekend at the 2021 Legion Sports Fest. Now, he was able to earn his qualification to the biggest competition of the year. This comes after a bit of a disappointing outing during the 2021 show.
Grimes had to compete with some other elite names in the sport. Cedric McMillan returned to the stage for the second straight weekend after he appeared at the Legion Sports Fest. McMillan returned from an injury and it is good to see him back in competition on a consistent basis. Mohamed Shaaban and Samson Dauda also appeared on stage in Egypt.
In the home country of Olympia champion Big Ramy, there was an exciting show to watch on Sunday. The sport of bodybuilding has become huge around the world and Egypt is one of the countries that is leading the charge. It is because of competitions like this that the sport is continuing to grow.
The full results from Egypt have been announced. There were a total of four major divisions where the winner earned qualification to the 2022 Olympia next December. Check out the full breakdown from the event below!

The 2021 KO Pro Egypt is the next big event set to take place in the bodybuilding world. This event will take place on Sunday in Egypt and will showcase some of the top names in bodybuilding looking to qualify for the 2022 Olympia.

Big Ramy has won back-to-back Olympia titles and has helped grow the sport of bodybuilding to a great height in Egypt. Big Ramy will not be part of this event but he continues to be the biggest name in the country heading into the event.
The 2021 KO Pro Egypt will feature four divisions — Men’s Open, Classic Physique, 212, and Men’s Physique. The full lineups have been announced in all divisions. Below, you can checkout the full list of competitors, along with some of the top athletes in Men’s Open.
Top Athletes To Watch
Regan Grimes
Regan Grimes brought on a new coach after the Olympia and has already shown some impressive progress. Grimes has been active on social media showing physique updates and he took the stage during the 2021 Legion Sports Fest Pro last week. Grimes finished second in Men’s Open to Shaun Clarida. Now, Grimes will enter the KO Pro Egypt as one of the favorites to win the competition. He will only continue to improve over the next year during training.
Cedric McMilan
Cedric McMillan was last seen at the 2021 Legion Sports Fest Pro. He did not make the first callout and did not appear on stage during the finals. There was an apparent illness that hit but nothing was confirmed. McMillan will be back on stage quickly in Egypt hoping to make an impact following his return. McMillan missed some time with injuries and will now have a chance to get back on stage against some other top competitors.
Mohamed Shaaban
Mohamed Shaaban appeared on stage twice in 2020 and finished 10th in the Olympia three weeks ago. Shaaban competed at the 2020 California Pro and Chicago Pro leading up to the Olympia. Shaaban has not picked up a victory since the 2019 Portugal Pro. He remains a force in the sport and has a chance to gain early qualification here. Shaaban will have to get his conditioning to the level of the other athletes and show that he can stack up.
Samson Dauda
Samson Dauda was a top-five finisher at the 2020 European Pro and followed that up with a sixth-place finish at the British Grand Prix Pro. Dauda is a dark-horse heading into the competition and this is because of his ceiling. When looking at other competitors, Dauda might not come in first but he has a chance to use this as a measuring stick.
