Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's mercy excuse, Ulberg questions mental state

Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has made strong comments about mental health in MMA while criticizing Jiri Prochazka's post-fight mercy explanation. Longo suggested that Prochazka's excuse about showing pity was nonsense and that he simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg also weighed in, stating that Prochazka was held back by fear rather than mercy and accused him of performing for the public. Ulberg believes Prochazka's claim was an attempt to secure a rematch that won't happen, predicting Ankalaev will defeat him. Additionally, Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after their fight and suggested everything Prochazka does is aimed at generating public reaction.
