Longo questions Prochazka's mental state; Ulberg calls mercy claim 'complete nonsense'

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has called for discussions about mental health in MMA following Jiri Prochazka's post-fight comments. Longo referenced Prochazka's unconventional practices like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine, suggesting these behaviors warrant concern. Carlos Ulberg directly challenged Prochazka's 'mercy' explanation, calling it 'complete nonsense' and stating that fear was actually the issue. Ulberg accused Prochazka of playing to the audience and creating excuses to secure a rematch, adding that Prochazka didn't even approach him after the fight. Ulberg also noted tension at City Kickboxing gym, with Israel Adesanya and Ulberg not seen together recently and ignoring each other's recent performances.
