Jiri Prochazka addressed his UFC 327 loss to Carlos Ulberg, rejecting claims that he showed mercy to his injured opponent. Prochazka stated he lost concentration and went recklessly for the finish after seeing Ulberg as an easy target, which cost him the fight. He cited a quote from his favorite book, Miyamoto Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings," about fighting to win rather than worrying about striking hard or soft. The Czech fighter acknowledged he could have fought smarter but noted his philosophy has always been different, and he paid the price for low fight IQ rather than compassion. Prochazka apologized for his performance and promised to return stronger.
