Trainers and Ulberg criticize Prochazka's post-fight mercy claims

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, commented on mental health issues in MMA, referencing fighters who pray to Olympus, stand on their heads, and drink their own urine. He criticized Prochazka's post-fight explanation about showing mercy, saying the fighter simply made a severe mistake. Carlos Ulberg dismissed Prochazka's mercy claim as total nonsense, stating that fear prevented him from finishing the fight. Ulberg accused Prochazka of playing to the audience and making excuses to secure a rematch, adding that Prochazka didn't even approach him after the fight. There are also reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with the two not being seen together recently and ignoring each other's performances. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after a fight that he's too handsome to be a fighter.
