Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's mental state and loss explanation

Ray Longo, who trains Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, made harsh comments about Jiri Prochazka's mental approach to fighting and his recent loss. Longo suggested the sport needs to address mental health issues, citing Prochazka's unconventional habits like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine. He criticized Prochazka's post-fight explanation that he showed "mercy" to his opponent, saying the fighter simply made a major mistake. Longo's comments highlight concerns about Prochazka's unusual training methods and his tendency to provide eccentric explanations for his performances. Carlos Ulberg also disputed Prochazka's mercy claim, suggesting fear was the real issue and that Prochazka refused to approach him after the fight.
