Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has called for discussion of mental health issues in MMA, specifically referencing Jiri Prochazka's unconventional behavior and post-fight explanations. Longo ridiculed Prochazka's rituals like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine, suggesting the fighter's loss resulted from his own mistakes rather than showing mercy. Carlos Ulberg stated that Prochazka did not show mercy but rather was hindered by fear, accusing him of fabricating the narrative to secure a rematch. Ulberg claimed Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and believes everything Prochazka does is designed for public reaction. The post also mentions Donald Trump telling Paulo Costa he's too handsome to be a fighter, potential tension at City Kickboxing between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, and that Ulberg may have suffered an ACL tear requiring 9-12 months recovery.
