Ulberg denies Prochazka mercy claim, predicts Ankalaev victory

Carlos Ulberg firmly rejected Jiri Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy during their fight. Ulberg stated there was no mercy and that the difference between a champion and someone playing to the public is exactly this distinction. He said fear and indecision moved Prochazka, not compassion. Ulberg believes Prochazka knows he's pretending and that this is a game for public reaction while Ulberg focuses on being the best in the world. He characterized Prochazka's mercy explanation as an excuse to get a rematch. Ulberg stated there is no chance Prochazka will get a rematch and doesn't believe he will get past Magomed Ankalaev, predicting Ankalaev will defeat him decisively.
