Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has harshly criticized Jiri Prochazka's claim of showing mercy in his fight, suggesting it raises concerns about mental health in MMA. Longo mocked Prochazka's unconventional practices like headstands and drinking his own urine, stating that Prochazka simply made a serious mistake and his mercy claim is nonsense. Carlos Ulberg also weighed in, saying Prochazka didn't show mercy but was stopped by fear, and is playing to the audience while seeking a rematch that won't happen. Ulberg noted Prochazka didn't even approach him after the fight and suggested everything Prochazka does is designed for public reaction. Additionally, Donald Trump reportedly told Paulo Costa after his fight that he's "too handsome to be a fighter." The post also mentions possible tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg, as they haven't been seen together recently and don't acknowledge each other's performances.
