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

Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's unconventional behavior and post-fight excuses, suggesting mental health issues in MMA need discussion. Longo mocked Prochazka's rituals like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine, and dismissed his claim of showing mercy as the reason for his loss. Carlos Ulberg also disputed Prochazka's mercy narrative, stating that fear was the real issue and accusing Prochazka of playing to the crowd with false excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg noted Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and questioned his sincerity. Additionally, President Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa he was too handsome to be a fighter, and tensions appear to be brewing at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg.
