Dexter Jackson 2008 Mr. Olympia Champion

Another Olympia in the books and 2008 crowned a new champion, Dexter Jackson.  Dexter sure has come a long way since his first NPC competition the NPC Southern States Championship of 1992, where he took 3rd.

He first competed in the Arnold Classic, Night of Champions, and Mr. Olympia contests in 1999, placing 7th, 3rd, and 9th, respectively.

At the 2007 Mr. Olympia, Jackson placed 3rd, but many critics said he would not likely place any higher. On September 27, 2008, however, he defeated the reigning two-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler to become the twelfth man to win that title, and only the second to have won it and the Arnold Classic title in the same year.
