Longo criticizes Prochazka's post-fight mental state, Ulberg disputes mercy claim

Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, addressed mental health issues in MMA while criticizing Jiri Prochazka's post-fight behavior and excuses. Longo dismissed Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy to Carlos Ulberg, stating that Prochazka simply made a critical mistake. Carlos Ulberg directly rejected Prochazka's mercy narrative, saying Prochazka was motivated by fear rather than compassion and is playing to the audience for a rematch opportunity. Ulberg revealed that Prochazka did not approach him after the fight and believes everything Prochazka does is calculated for public reaction. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after the fight that he is "too beautiful to be a fighter." There appears to be tension at City Kickboxing gym between top fighters Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, who have not been seen together recently and have not publicly supported each other's recent performances.
