Longo criticizes Prochazka's excuses, Ulberg doubts tension at City Kickboxing

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy to Carlos Ulberg, calling it evidence of mental health issues in MMA. Longo stated Prochazka "screwed up badly" and was simply making excuses rather than showing compassion. Carlos Ulberg expressed disrespect toward Prochazka, saying fear rather than mercy caused Prochazka's hesitation and that Prochazka is performing for public reaction. Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight. Additionally, tension appears to exist at City Kickboxing gym, with Israel Adesanya and Ulberg reportedly not seen together recently and ignoring each other's recent performances. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is "too handsome to be a fighter."
