The best bodybuilders from all over the globe descended on Birmingham, England for the 2026 Arnold Classic UK between March 27 and 29, leading to a highly important weekend for the industry, as the road to the 2026 Mr. Olympia event began to take shape. Here are the full results from each division.
Of course, all eyes were on Andrew Jacked as both fans and critics alike were eager to see if the former kickboxer could repeat the achievement he made earlier this month, winning the Arnold U.S and taking home bodybuilding’s biggest ever prize of $750,000. And, in the U.K., AJ brought his A-game once again, winning first place and adding a further $250,0000 to his earnings this year. Commenting on his chances against his rivals at the 2026 Mr Olympia, Jacked said he was excited to go up against current champion Derek Lunsford, and 2025 champ, Samson Dauda. “Get ready guys, we’re gonna spice things up!” he promised.
