Ray Longo questions Prochazka's mental state, Ulberg disputes mercy claim

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has raised concerns about mental health issues in MMA, specifically referencing Jiri Prochazka's unusual training methods and post-fight explanation. Longo criticized Prochazka's claim of showing mercy, stating the fighter simply made a critical mistake. Carlos Ulberg echoed this sentiment, asserting that fear, not mercy, caused Prochazka's hesitation and that the Czech fighter is making excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg also revealed that Prochazka never approached him after the fight and suggested all his actions are calculated for public reaction. Additionally, Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is "too handsome to be a fighter." There are also reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with the two allegedly not seen together recently and ignoring each other's performances.
