Ulberg rejects Prochazka's 'mercy' claim, predicts Ankalaev victory

Carlos Ulberg strongly denied Jiri Prochazka's assertion that he showed mercy during their fight. Ulberg stated that the difference between a champion and someone playing to the crowd is exactly this distinction. He claimed that Prochazka was driven by fear and indecision rather than compassion. Ulberg accused Prochazka of pretending and playing to the audience to justify a rematch. The new champion declared there is no chance Prochazka will get a rematch and predicted that Magomed Ankalaev will defeat Prochazka decisively. Ulberg positioned himself as focused on being the best in the world rather than creating narratives.
