Carlos Ulberg rejected Jiri Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy in their fight, stating that fear and hesitation were the real factors, not compassion. Ulberg suggested Prochazka is playing to the audience and making excuses to secure a rematch, which Ulberg believes will not happen. He predicts Magomed Ankalaev will defeat Prochazka decisively. Ulberg also noted that Prochazka did not approach him after the fight, suggesting his public persona is performative. Additionally, Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, commented on mental health issues in MMA, referencing Prochazka's unusual training methods and post-fight explanations. There are also reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with neither acknowledging the other's recent performances.
