Ray Longo criticizes Jiri Prochazka's excuses, Carlos Ulberg questions mindset

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, called out mental health issues in MMA and criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight claims about showing mercy. Longo dismissed Prochazka's explanation, saying he simply got beaten badly and stood there confused. Carlos Ulberg stated that Prochazka's mercy claim was nonsense and that fear was the real issue, accusing him of playing to the audience for a rematch. Ulberg also noted Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and suggested everything he does is for public reaction. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's too handsome to be a fighter. Reports also surfaced of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, who haven't been seen together recently and aren't supporting each other publicly.
