Ray Longo questions Prochazka's mental state, Ulberg accuses him of making excuses

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, commented on the need to discuss mental health in MMA following Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Longo criticized Prochazka's post-fight claim about showing "mercy," stating the fighter simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg was more direct, accusing Prochazka of being motivated by fear rather than mercy, and suggesting he's playing to the public and making excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg revealed Prochazka didn't congratulate him after the fight and believes Prochazka's actions are geared toward audience reaction. The post also mentions potential tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with the two reportedly not seen together recently and ignoring each other's recent performances. Ulberg may have suffered an ACL tear, which typically requires 9-12 months recovery.
