Credits for Baki for paying this man a tribute…

[@CinematicTendency]

Even Baki has a character after Oliva.

[@jrsirmans82]

BAKI definitely helped to spread his legend to a new generation.

[@RAGExEDITS]

you know he's legendary when his character role (BISCUIT OLIVA) is in BAKI-VERSE

[@steelpenguin1]

Great story and mostly true. He beat Arnold when he first came over from Europe and was still very young. I do believe that Sergio pushed Arnold to the legend he became.

Retired as.a Chicago officer after 25 years, also was shot 5 times , due to muscle mass so dense he survived.True legend , i use to follow when i was younger

I met Sergio, he sat down next to me on a bench at the Arnold Classic Expo when I was taking a break. He was older and I didn't recognize him by appearance. It wasnt until I read his name tag that I realized it was him. Very nice fella, had a gentleness about him that stood out. I'm glad i got to chat with him.

Sergio was phenomenal. Never enough recognition.

[@hectoralfaro8445]

It's great how Baki pays tribute to him in their character, Mr.Unchained.

When he stepped on stage, the people couldn't believe what they were seeing. We also thought Mr. Olympia statue was sculptured from Sergio.

[@SamC_182]

It wasn't just his long bellies, but his structure, that tiny waist, wide lats & clavicles, thick legs & arms, literally the most gifted

[@antbrooks9303]

One of the Greatest that should have been recognized but we know why that he wasn’t recognized more

[@robtrout5183]

The symmetry is unbelievable, he was one of the greats 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪

[@CraigNiel]

Got to admit it's hard to argue against it! The guy was an absolute beast back in the day!

[@adrianwalkes7437]

Sergio the magnificent, the greatest of all time.

[@jackmeoff9299]

Older generation bodybuilders look so much better than the new generation

[@tracywilliams7929]

He was also extremely hard working I am sure. A man of honor as well. Courageous to the core.

[@MrEdlgar]

Oliva and Zane were perfection.
