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, and that Prochazka was driven by fear and indecision. Ulberg believes Prochazka knows he is pretending and that this is all a performance for the audience. He suggested Prochazka's mercy claim is an excuse to secure a rematch, which Ulberg says has no chance of happening. Ulberg confidently predicted that Magomed Ankalaev will defeat Prochazka, stating Ankalaev will "kick his ass."
