Who will dominate the Pittsburgh Pro 2025? Nick Walker or Vitaly Ugolnikov?

This coming weekend will mark the first ever Pittsburgh Pro competition for heavyweights in the open division. And indeed, it won't be a lowly competition by any stretch of the imagination. As you know from our previous articles, it will feature the absolute top of the current pro scene, including 2023 Mr. Olympia titleholder Dereke Lunsford!

Derek is of course one of the greatest candidates for victory, but he is not alone. Together with him, Michal "Križo" Križánek, Nich Walker and Vitaly Ugolnikov will also take the stage. Michal has the support of four-time Mr. Olympia winner Jay Cutler, who said that he is in much better shape than Derek and Nick.

Below, we can take a look at the Walker, Ugolnikov pairing through photos that document their forms about a week before the fight. Who will do better? New York Pro 2024 winner Nick Walker or recent Arnold Classic Brazil 2025 winner Vitaly Ugolnikov?
