When the Veterans Memorial Auditorium heard the announcement of the final contestants' names, a roar emerged from the mass. Kai Greene was the first name announced, although the defending champion was not the favorite to win this year's edition. In second place Phil Heath, Branch Warren in third, Dexter Jackson in fourth, Toney Freeman in fifth and finally Ronny Rockel in sixth.

When all the stuff started, it seemed that Phil Heath was the crowd's favorite and it was likely to win, but then the dust had settled, he found himself in a discouraging second position. The other crowd's favorite, Branch Warren, ended up in third place after grabbin the fourth Most Muscular award in Columbus.

The one who walked away with the title was, however, the defending champion Kai Greene, who received the trophy for the second consecutive year. Congratulations, Kai!
