Jiri Prochazka addressed his recent defeat to Carlos Ulberg, rejecting claims that he showed mercy during the fight. The former champion stated he lost concentration and got caught, rather than deliberately holding back against his injured opponent. Prochazka cited his favorite book, Miyamoto Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings," emphasizing the philosophy of fighting to win without hesitation. He acknowledged the fight could have been conducted more intelligently but attributed the loss to a lapse in focus rather than compassion. The Czech fighter's post-fight analysis suggests he believes his fighting IQ, not mercy, was the deciding factor. Prochazka has never prioritized fighting conservatively, which may have contributed to his downfall against the one-legged Ulberg.
