Longo criticizes Prochazka's mental state, Ulberg denies mercy claim

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, questioned Jiri Prochazka's mental health following his loss, criticizing the Czech fighter's unusual training methods and post-fight 'mercy' excuse. Carlos Ulberg, who defeated Prochazka, stated that fear, not mercy, caused Prochazka's hesitation and accused him of creating excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg expressed disappointment that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and suggested his opponent's behavior is designed for public reaction. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's 'too handsome to be a fighter.' There are also reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with neither supporting each other's recent performances.
