Longo and Ulberg criticize Prochazka's 'mercy' excuse after UFC 327 loss

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's mental state and post-fight excuse that he showed mercy to Carlos Ulberg. Longo suggested mental health issues in MMA need discussion, dismissing Prochazka's claims as deflection after a bad performance. Carlos Ulberg echoed these sentiments, stating Prochazka was motivated by fear and indecision, not mercy, and accused him of playing to the crowd with excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg noted Prochazka did not approach him after the fight and predicted Magomed Ankalaev would defeat Prochazka. There are also rumors of tension at City Kickboxing gym, with Israel Adesanya and Ulberg reportedly not seen together recently and ignoring each other's fight results.
