Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's 'mercy' excuse, Ulberg calls it fear

Trainer Ray Longo has criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation for his loss to Carlos Ulberg, calling for discussions about mental health in MMA. Longo dismissed Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy, stating the fighter simply made a critical mistake. Carlos Ulberg echoed this sentiment, saying Prochazka's excuse was about fear, not mercy, and accused him of playing to the audience. Ulberg also revealed that Prochazka did not approach him after the fight and suggested tension exists within the City Kickboxing gym, noting that Israel Adesanya and Ulberg have not been seen together recently and do not publicly support each other. Additionally, Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after a recent event that he is 'too handsome to be a fighter.'
