On The Menace Podcast, Dennis James, Chris Cormier, and Milos Sarcev weighed in on Samson Dauda's guest posing appearance at the 2026 Pittsburgh Pro. The panel compared the Nigerian Lion to legend Ronnie Coleman.
Samson Dauda is bouncing back from a fourth-place finish at the 2025 Mr. Olympia after his 2024 victory. He sacrificed size for conditioning last year, but his latest appearance shows he has regained his monstrous proportions.
At the Pittsburgh Pro, Dauda performed a guest posing routine alongside current Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford and contender Andrew Jacked. Dennis James noted, "I have never, in my whole life, seen a bodybuilder that big." He added that even Ronnie Coleman at 330 pounds had the same size, though Coleman likely had bigger legs.
Chris Cormier agreed, observing that Andrew Jacked looked "lanky" next to Dauda. The panel sees the 2026 Olympia as a potential showdown between Dauda and Lunsford.
