Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's 'mercy' excuse, Ulberg calls it fear

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, harshly criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation about showing 'mercy.' Longo suggested the sport needs to address mental health issues, referencing Prochazka's unconventional practices like praying to Olympus, headstands, and drinking his own urine. Carlos Ulberg also rejected Prochazka's mercy narrative, claiming it was actually fear that caused the Czech fighter's hesitation. Ulberg stated that Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and accused him of playing to the crowd rather than being genuine. Ulberg believes Prochazka is using the excuse to angle for a rematch but predicts Magomed Ankalaev will dominate him. Additionally, the post mentions President Trump told Costa he's 'too handsome to be a fighter' after his victory.
