Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's mercy explanation; Ulberg disputes claim

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanation about showing mercy, calling it a mental issue and stating Prochazka simply made a major mistake. Carlos Ulberg also rejected Prochazka's mercy narrative, claiming fear was the real factor and that Prochazka is playing to the audience for a rematch opportunity. Ulberg expressed disappointment that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and suggested Prochazka's behavior is performative. The post also mentions potential tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, who haven't been seen together and don't acknowledge each other's fights. Additionally, Ulberg's suspected injury is a torn ACL with an estimated 9-12 month recovery time, pending confirmation this week.
