Ray Longo questions Prochazka's mental state, criticizes mercy excuse

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has made controversial comments about Jiri Prochazka's mental approach to fighting. Longo suggested the MMA community needs to discuss mental health issues, referencing Prochazka's unusual training methods like standing on his head and drinking his own urine. He harshly criticized Prochazka's post-fight claim about showing mercy, saying the fighter simply made a serious mistake and looked lost. Carlos Ulberg also disputed Prochazka's mercy narrative, claiming fear was the real issue and accusing Prochazka of playing to the audience. Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and suggested all of Prochazka's actions are calculated for public reaction.
