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

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, questioned Jiri Prochazka's mental state after the Czech fighter claimed he showed mercy to Carlos Ulberg before being knocked out. Longo stated that Prochazka was simply outfought and that his claim is an excuse for his loss. Carlos Ulberg also dismissed the mercy narrative, saying Prochazka was driven by fear and indecision, not compassion. Ulberg accused Prochazka of playing to the crowd and suggested this excuse is an attempt to secure a rematch. There are also reports of tension within City Kickboxing gym, with Israel Adesanya and Ulberg not seen together recently and ignoring each other's recent performances.
