Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's post-fight excuses, calls out mental issues

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation, suggesting mental health concerns in MMA need addressing. Longo dismissed Prochazka's claim of showing mercy, stating the fighter simply made a serious mistake and stood lost afterward. Carlos Ulberg echoed criticism, saying Prochazka was driven by fear rather than mercy and accused him of playing to the audience for a rematch opportunity. Ulberg also noted that Prochazka did not approach him after the fight and questioned his authenticity. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is "too handsome to be a fighter." Tensions appear to exist at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with the two not seen together recently and ignoring each other's performances.
