Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has strongly criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation. Longo suggested the sport needs to address mental health issues, referencing Prochazka's unconventional training methods including standing on his head and drinking his own urine. He dismissed Prochazka's claim of showing mercy as an excuse, stating the Czech fighter simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg also weighed in, saying Prochazka's hesitation was due to fear, not mercy, and accused him of playing to the crowd. The post also mentions that President Trump told Costa after his fight that he is "too beautiful to be a fighter."
