Carlos Ulberg has rejected Jiri Prochazka's statement that he showed mercy during their bout. Ulberg argued that there was no mercy shown and that a champion differs from someone playing to the crowd. He suggested that fear and hesitation drove Prochazka's actions, and he believes Prochazka is pretending to justify getting a rematch. Ulberg stated there is no chance of a rematch and predicted that Magomed Ankalaev would defeat Prochazka if they fought.
