Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's mercy claims, Ulberg says fear caused loss

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, strongly criticized Jiri Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy in his recent loss. Longo suggested that Prochazka's unconventional methods and post-fight excuses indicate mental health issues in MMA need discussion, stating Prochazka simply made a severe mistake rather than showing compassion. Carlos Ulberg also dismissed Prochazka's mercy narrative, claiming fear caused the Czech fighter's defeat and that Prochazka is performing for public reaction. Ulberg noted that Prochazka did not approach him after their fight and that the mercy claim was an excuse to seek a rematch. Ulberg predicted Magomed Ankalaev will defeat Prochazka convincingly. Additionally, the post mentions President Trump told Paulo Costa he is "too handsome to be a fighter" after his bout, and reports potential tension between top fighters at City Kickboxing gym.
