Dexter Jackson Dethrones Jay for his First Olympia Title
With a changing of the guard that many will agree with, three time Australian Grand Prix champion Dexter Jackson dethroned Jay Cutler to win his first Olympia title. Despite having won numerous shows, and being on the top 10 all-time list for IFBB wins, the elusive Olympia always escaped Dexter prior in his 10+ Olympia appearances. This win is Dexter’s fourth of the year.

This has to be the first time a guy under 240, has won the show in 20 years! Dexter was probably 220-230 tops? Unbelievable! He should have won in 07 but whatever…he’s got it now and Jay can go eat shit…a big bag of shit!
OK…I just watched the video. Maybe the “go and eat a big bag of shit” comment was a little harsh…JAY CUTLER 2009!
