🔥 Top Contenders: Who’s Fighting for the Crown?
🥇 1. Kerrith Bajjo (USA) – The Open Division Debutant
- 2024 Mr. Olympia: 4th Place
- Olympia Qualified: Yes (via 2024 Japan Pro win)
- Texas Pro: Open Bodybuilding Debut
Kerrith Bajjo is the biggest story of the 2025 Texas Pro.
A top-tier 212 bodybuilder who placed 4th at the 2024 Mr. Olympia, Bajjo is now moving up to the Men’s Open—a decision that has sent shockwaves through the division.
His physique is known for:
- Extreme conditioning
- Muscle density
- Sharp posing
- Balanced symmetry
While smaller in stature than the giants of the Open, Bajjo brings hardness, detail, and stage presence that could outshine even the biggest mass monsters.
Can a 212 athlete dominate the Open?
This show will be the ultimate test.
If he brings his Olympia-level dryness and control, Bajjo could steal the show in his debut.
🥈 2. Jordan Hutchinson (USA) – The Reigning Champion
- 2025 Tampa Pro: 1st Place
- Recent Form: Massive, conditioned, and confident
- Strengths: Full quads, thick back, balanced structure
After shocking the world by winning the 2025 Tampa Pro, Hutchinson is back to defend his momentum.
He looked huge, hard, and complete in Tampa, with a grainy, peeled look that impressed judges and fans alike.
Now, he faces an even tougher lineup, including Bajjo and Eriya.
Can he win back-to-back pro shows?
If he brings the same peak condition and stage control, he’s the favorite to win.
🥉 3. Quinton Eriya (Canada) – The Redemption Warrior
- 2025 Tampa Pro: 2nd Place
- Strengths: Massive legs, wide lats, freaky genetics
- Weaknesses: Conditioning, back detail
Eriya was right behind Hutchinson in Tampa—his best result to date.
Now, he’s returning with a point to prove.
His quad sweep and vascularity are among the best in the game, but he needs more back thickness and separation to challenge for the win.
This could be Eriya’s breakout moment.
🔄 Returning Athletes: The Tampa Pro Veterans
The Texas Pro brings back nearly the entire top 10 from Tampa, all looking to improve.
| Bodybuilders | Tampa Results | Texas Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Joseph Palacios | 3rd | Break into top 2 |
| John Jewett | 4th | Win with improved condition |
| Bruno Oliveira Santos | 5th | Climb with better peak |
| Patrick Moore | 7th | Return to top 10 form |
| Emir Omeragic | 8th | Tighten waist, improve detail |
| Stuart Sutherland | 9th | Crack the top 5 |
| Yun Long Pin | 10th | Surprise with sharper look |
These athletes know each other well—and the rematches will be intense.
Will Jewett finally break through?
Can Santos add mass and detail?
Is Sutherland ready for a top 5?
The Texas Pro is their chance to redeem Tampa.
🌍 New Faces & Pro Debutants: The Wild Cards
Alongside the veterans, the 2025 Texas Pro welcomes several new and rising stars:
🔹 Matt Kouba (USA)
- Known for his massive back and conditioning
- A dark horse with Olympia-level potential
🔹 Keunwoo Park (South Korea)

- Making his U.S. pro debut
🔹 Drake Sanders (USA)

🔹 Justin Abbott (USA)

These debutants add unpredictability to an already stacked lineup.
One of them could be the next breakout star.
🔮 Why the 2025 Texas Pro Could Change Everything
The 2025 Mr. Olympia qualification window closes on September 14, 2025, making every pro show critical.
But the Texas Pro is special because:
- It’s larger than Olympia (26 athletes vs. ~20)
- It features Olympia-level physiques
- It’s a final prep test before Las Vegas
For athletes like Hutchinson, a win here would cement his status as a top contender.
For Bajjo, a strong showing could prove the 212-to-Open transition is viable.
For Eriya, Jewett, and Santos, it’s a chance to climb the ranks before the final call.
And for newcomers, it’s a shot at instant credibility.
