Williams’ victory is a strong end in his first contest since a ninth-place end on the 2021 Mr. Olympia. The bodybuilder may channel this effort for a greater end in December’s Olympia. His finest profession end within the main contest was sixth place within the 2020 version.

Williams’ devoted work with points of his physique like his shredded arms, shoulders, and legs was sufficient to beat former 212 Olympia champ (2019) Kamal Elgargni — a newcomer to the Males’s Open division. Whereas he didn’t win, a second-place end is a top quality end result for Elgargni in his first time competing in a brand new class. 

In response to the IFBB Professional League’s qualification requirements, the Tampa Professional is a Tier 2 contest. Second by way of fifth place finishers on this competitors earned factors starting from eight to 5 of their respective quests to qualify for the Olympia. Which means a fourth-place end result for a rising star like Joe Mackey earned him six factors as he works for potential Olympia hopes. Mackey has one other pending alternative for extra factors (or automated qualification with a win) in a Tier 4 contest on the 2022 Texas Professional on August 12-13, 2022, in Irving, Texas.
