Longo questions Prochazka's mental state, Ulberg denies mercy claim

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, stated that mental health issues in MMA need to be discussed, referencing Jiri Prochazka's unusual training methods and post-fight explanation. Longo dismissed Prochazka's claim of showing mercy, saying he simply made a mistake. Carlos Ulberg echoed this sentiment, stating that fear, not mercy, caused Prochazka's hesitation and accused him of playing to the public for a rematch. Ulberg noted Prochazka didn't congratulate him after the fight and suggested everything Prochazka does is for public reaction. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's "too handsome to be a fighter." There are reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between top fighters Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with no recent public support between them. Ulberg potentially suffered an ACL tear, which typically requires 9-12 months recovery, though official diagnosis is pending this week.
