Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's excuses, Ulberg dismisses 'mercy' claim as fear

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation, saying Prochazka looked lost and that his "mercy" excuse was fabricated. Longo suggested mental health issues in MMA need to be discussed, referencing Prochazka's unusual training methods. Carlos Ulberg also rejected Prochazka's mercy claim, stating fear was the real issue and accusing Prochazka of playing to the audience. Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and believes Prochazka's behavior is designed for public reaction. Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's "too beautiful to be a fighter." The post also suggests tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with neither supporting each other's recent performances.
