Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's mercy excuse, Ulberg questions legitimacy

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight claim of showing mercy, suggesting it raises mental health concerns in MMA. Longo stated Prochazka simply made a severe mistake rather than intentionally holding back. Carlos Ulberg also dismissed Prochazka's mercy claims, asserting that fear was the actual issue and calling the excuse an attempt to secure a rematch. Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and suggested his behavior is designed for public reaction. Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he is too handsome to be a fighter.
