Dexter Jackson wins 2016 Arnold Classic Europe

Dexter Jackson didn't let a third place finish in the 2016 Mr. Olympia bring him down. The 47 year old bodybuilding legend went on to Spain and claimed first place in the Arnold Classic Europe which was held in Barcelona.

The victory gives Jackson his 9th Arnold Classic victory and a record setting 27th victory in a pro show. That's right no other pro bodybuilder has won more shows, not Arnold, not Haney, not Coleman, not Yates, not anybody. Congratulations to Dexter "The Blade" Jackson.

The top five finishers were:

1. Dexter Jackson

2. Big Ramy

3. William Bonac

4. Shawn Rhoden

5. Roelly Winklaar

Video: Phil Heath wins 6th consecutive Mr. Olympia

Sorry Phil Heath haters but the champ is still here!

Phil Heath fended off a group of great challengers to claim his sixth consecutive Mr. Olympia contest. In my opinion Heath came in in better shape than both 2014 and 2015, and maybe his best shape ever. The champ needed to be dialed in as competitors such as Shawn Rhoden and Dexter Jackson came in fully ready to challenge the champ.

Heath is now tied with Dorian Yates after winning his sixth Sandow.

Here are the top five finishers

5th William Bonac

4th Mamdouh Elssbiay (Big Ramy)

3rd Dexter Jackson

2nd Shawn Rhoden
