Jiri Prochazka addressed his UFC 327 knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg, denying that he showed mercy to his injured opponent. Prochazka stated he lost concentration and got caught, and that his approach was not about mercy but rather low fight IQ. He referenced his favorite book, Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of Five Rings," emphasizing that a fighter's only goal should be to defeat the opponent. Prochazka acknowledged he could have fought smarter but said his fighting philosophy lies elsewhere, and he paid the price for going recklessly for the finish against what seemed like an easy target. He apologized to fans for his performance and promised to return stronger.
