Jay Cutler made one of his strongest public predictions in years. Moreover, he said Andrew Jacked now has all the ingredients needed to take over the sport and wins the 2026 Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. He pointed to Jacked’s rapid progress and his structure as the biggest reasons for his confidence. He also noted that Jacked’s motivation has never been higher.

Secondly, Cutler explained that he rarely predicts winners. He usually avoids choosing sides because he supports all top athletes. However, he said Jacked’s development forced him to speak up. He said Jacked reached a point where ignoring his potential no longer made sense.

Thirdly, Cutler highlighted Jacked’s frame as the key separating factor. He described Jacked’s physique as “unlimited” and said he does not require major changes. Instead, he only needs small refinements. Those refinements, Cutler said, could easily push him to the top of the sport.

Finally, he broke down the financial impact. He said Jacked could win both Arnold titles and the Olympia, which would place him over the million-dollar mark for 2026. Cutler believes few athletes in the sport have ever been positioned this well entering a season.

Jay Cutler Says Andrew Jacked Has All the Tools, Predicts He Wins the 2026 Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia

Cutler said Jacked’s momentum from the 2025 Olympia changed everything. He believes Jacked gained confidence after delivering his strongest version yet. He said momentum at that level creates a sharp upward swing.

“Success motivates the hell out of people, but when someone has an unlimited structure, like an Andrew Jacked, it’s endless.”

Secondly, Cutler said Jacked’s shape makes him the most dangerous man in next year’s lineup. He said the combination of height, width, and flow gives Jacked advantages no one can teach. He noted that competitors with this type of frame become far harder to beat once they improve small details.

“There’s just not many guys with his shape. And when someone with that shape starts improving, it gets scary.”

Thirdly, Cutler stressed that conditioning and refinement are the last pieces Jacked needs. He said if Jacked sharpens those areas, he becomes the likely winner at both the Arnold and the Olympia. He also said Jacked is hungry, which matters as much as any physical trait.

“I think Andrew still can get a little better. I think he’s motivated.”

Finally, he said the prize money makes this an even more important year. He believes Jacked could sweep the Arnold Ohio and Arnold UK, then secure the Olympia. That combination, Cutler said, would deliver one of the most profitable seasons in bodybuilding history.

“I feel like Andrew, if he improves a little bit, he wins that $750,000. He could go to the UK and win $250,000 more — win a million.”

Cutler’s Most Direct Predictions

Cutler made his rarest type of statement when discussing the 2026 Olympia. Furthermore, he said he does not usually speak this boldly, but Jacked pushed him to break his own rule.

“I don’t ever make predictions because I cheer both these guys on. Andrew Jacked is Mr. Olympia all the way. He has all the tools.”

Moreover, he also addressed the question directly. Also, he did not hesitate.

“If I was a betting man, I’d probably favor Andrew to come in and win the Arnold and the Olympia in 2026, just because of his momentum right now.”

He followed by clarifying that he still respects every athlete in the top tier. However, he said Jacked simply has advantages that no one else possesses.

“I’m not taking anything away from the other guys, because I support all these guys, but Andrew has something you can’t teach.”

Finally, he expanded on Jacked’s potential and why he believes this season could be historic.

“People don’t understand how rare that combination is: height, structure, flow, width, and he’s still not maxed out.”

What This Means for the 2026 Season

Cutler’s prediction places enormous attention on Andrew Jacked. He enters the 2026 season with expectations rarely given to a rising contender. Secondly, his rivals now face a clear warning: Jacked’s progress is accelerating, not slowing. Thirdly, both Arnold events may shift their marketing around Jacked as a potential sweep candidate. Finally, the Olympia storyline becomes even more compelling. A new era may be forming, and Cutler believes Jacked is the athlete positioned to lead it.
