Ray Longo and Carlos Ulberg criticize Prochazka's 'mercy' excuse after loss

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, strongly criticized Jiri Prochazka's mental approach and post-fight excuse about showing mercy. Longo suggested the sport needs to address mental health issues, calling Prochazka's behavior concerning. Carlos Ulberg stated that fear, not mercy, stopped Prochazka, and accused him of playing to the crowd for a rematch. Ulberg also noted Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and questioned his sincerity. Additionally, Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa he's "too beautiful to be a fighter" after Costa's recent victory. Tensions at City Kickboxing gym are noted between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, who haven't been seen together or supporting each other recently. Ulberg may have suffered an ACL tear with 9-12 months recovery time, pending confirmation.
