Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, voiced concerns about mental health issues in MMA while criticizing Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanations. Longo mocked Prochazka's unconventional lifestyle habits and his "mercy" claim, stating the fighter simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg separately accused Prochazka of being dishonest about showing mercy, suggesting fear was the real issue and that Prochazka is playing to the audience. Ulberg also criticized Prochazka for not approaching him after their fight and for what he perceives as attention-seeking behavior. Additionally, the post notes that President Trump told Paulo Costa he is "too beautiful to be a fighter" after his recent bout, and mentions possible tension at City Kickboxing between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, who haven't been seen together recently.
