Carlos Ulfberg strongly rejected Jiri Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy during their UFC 327 fight, stating that Prochazka was driven by fear and indecisiveness rather than compassion. Ray Longo, trainer to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized what he sees as mental health issues in MMA, mocking Prochazka's excuses after the loss. Ulfberg accused Prochazka of playing to the crowd and inventing justifications to secure a rematch, adding that Prochazka never approached him after the fight. The New Zealand fighter believes Magomed Ankalaev will dominate Prochazka if they meet. Ulfberg also noted apparent tension at City Kickboxing gym, where he and Israel Adesanya have not been seen together recently and do not publicly support each other's fights.
