Longo questions Prochazka's mental state, Ulberg says fear not mercy caused loss

Ray Longo, coach to 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 behavior. Longo suggested that while Prochazka's practices like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine are entertaining, his post-fight confusion about showing mercy indicates deeper issues. Carlos Ulberg directly contradicted Prochazka's mercy claim, stating that fear, not mercy, caused Prochazka's defeat. Ulberg accused Prochazka of pretending and playing to the audience, calling his excuse an attempt to secure a rematch. Additionally, the post mentions Trump told Costa after his fight that he is too handsome to be a fighter. There are reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, as they have not been seen together recently and ignore each other's performances. Ulberg is suspected to have suffered an ACL tear, which typically requires 9-12 months recovery, though official confirmation is pending this week.
