Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has criticized Jiri Prochazka's mental state and post-fight excuse about showing mercy. Longo referenced Prochazka's unconventional practices like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine, suggesting mental health concerns in MMA should be discussed. Carlos Ulberg stated that Prochazka did not show mercy but rather was held back by fear, calling Prochazka's explanation 'complete nonsense' and an attempt to secure a rematch. Ulberg also noted that Prochazka did not approach him after the fight and questioned the authenticity of Prochazka's public persona. The post also mentions that Donald Trump told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is 'too beautiful to be a fighter,' and notes apparent tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, with neither supporting each other's recent performances.
