Men’s Open Athletes to Watch

The Men’s Open show is the main event of the weekend and has a $100,000 grand prize for the winner. The three front-runners to score that prize are below:

William Bonac

Bonac is in the middle of his comeback season after taking an extended absence from the competitive stage for over a year. He already earned an Olympia qualification through his win at the 2024 Empro Classic Pro. As a former Olympia runner-up and two-time Arnold Classic champion, Bonac has proven his prowess on big stages.

Nathan De Asha

Nathan De Asha won his 2024 Olympia qualification at the Mr. Big Evolution Pro on July 7. He defeated Bonac at that show en route to the 12th pro win of his career. This will be De Asha’s third contest this season.

Behrooz Tabani

This will be Behrooz Tabani’s third pro show of 2024. He ranked second to Bonac at the Empro Classic Pro but won his Olympia roster spot with a win over runner-up De Asha at the 2024 Flex Weekend Pro. This is the first time that Bonac, De Asha, and Tabani are all on the same stage this season.

Other Notes

These lineups are subject to change as there are NPC Worldwide pro qualifying events taking place on the same weekend. The winners of those contests will be eligible to add their names to these lineups.
