Longo criticizes Prochazka's excuses; Ulberg questions Jiri's mental approach

Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, called for discussion about mental health in MMA following Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Longo criticized Prochazka's claim that he showed 'mercy' as an excuse, saying the fighter simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg also commented on Prochazka, stating that fear, not mercy, prevented Jiri from finishing and that Prochazka is playing to the audience. Ulberg expressed disappointment that Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and suggested all of Jiri's actions are aimed at getting reactions. Ulberg also shared that President Trump told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's 'too handsome to be a fighter.' The post also noted apparent tension at City Kickboxing gym, with Israel Adesanya and Ulberg not being seen together recently and ignoring each other's fight results.
