Longo and Ulberg criticize Prochazka's 'mercy' excuse; Izzy-Ulberg rift at CKB

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized mental health issues in MMA, referring to Jiri Prochazka's claim that showing mercy cost him the fight as nonsense and stating Prochazka simply messed up badly. Carlos Ulberg denied that Prochazka showed mercy, saying it was fear and hesitation, accusing Prochazka of playing to the crowd and claiming he will not get a rematch as Magomed Ankalaev will destroy him. President Trump told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is too handsome to be a fighter. There appears to be tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, as they have not been seen together recently and ignore each other's performances. Ulberg is suspected to have suffered an ACL tear with an average recovery time of 9-12 months, though he says full diagnosis will come this week.
