Arnold Schwarzenegger Drops Teaser | Rise Of A Champion

February 11, 2022

The Terminator is back! Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed a new series, “Rise of a Champion,” in preparation for the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival that’s going down next month in Columbus, Ohio, on March 3-6th.Schwarzenegger took to his Instagram, where he posted a trailer for this new video series that will feature athletes competing in this year’s event.

Unfortunately, we don’t know much about the series and how and when fans will be able to watch it. Still, you can find a teaser of episode 1 on Fanmio’s Youtube channel, which is also the place where you can purchase pay-per-view to catch all the action from Arnold Sports Festival.

Rise Of A Champion Series

In this first episode, we get a 2-minute glimpse of Cedric McMillan preparing for the competition. McMillan missed the last Arnold Classic due to injuries he suffered while mountain biking. In the 2020 Arnold Classic, McMillan placed 6th, and in 2017 he was the winner.

The series is slated to be 15 episodes that will highlight both bodybuilders and strongmen set to compete next month. Schwarzenegger describes "Rise of a Champion" as a series that will look inside the mindset of the athletes and their dedication, focus, and ambition on the road to becoming a champion of their sport.

2022 Arnold Classic Bodybuilding Lineup & Schedule

The Arnold Classic is an invite-only competition, but any former AC winners earn a lifetime invite to compete at any time. Last year’s winner, Nick Walker, opted to sit this one out as we anticipate he has his sights set for Mr. Olympia later in the year from December 15-18th, 2022, in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada.

Originally there were 14 athletes scheduled to appear in the Men’s Open Division, but three have dropped out, including Rafael Brandao, Nathan De Asha, and Mohamed Shaaban.

Below, listed in alphabetical order are the remaining 11 athletes that will compete. There might be some replacements for the athletes who withdrew but this hasn't been confirmed yet.

  1. William Bonac (Netherlands)
  2. Maxx Charles (USA)
  3. Brandon Curry (USA)
  4. Samson Dauda (United Kingdom)
  5. Regan Grimes (Canada)
  6. Steve Kuclo (USA)
  7. Cedric McMillan (USA)
  8. Fabio Giga Rezende (Brasil)
  9. Justin Rodriguez (USA)
  10. Brett Wilkin (USA)
  11. Akim Williams (USA)
