Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's post-fight excuses, Ulberg questions his sincerity

Ray Longo, coach of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has made strong comments about mental health issues in MMA, specifically criticizing Jiri Prochazka's post-fight behavior and excuses. Longo mocked Prochazka's unconventional practices like praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine, stating that while entertaining, they lead to poor outcomes. He ridiculed Prochazka's claim that he showed "mercy" in his fight, saying the fighter simply made a serious mistake. Carlos Ulberg also dismissed Prochazka's mercy excuse, claiming it was actually fear that affected his performance and that Prochazka is playing to the audience for a rematch. Ulberg stated that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and suggested everything Prochazka does is calculated for public reaction. Ulberg also revealed apparent tension at City Kickboxing gym, noting that he and Israel Adesanya haven't been seen together recently and ignore each other's performances. The post also mentions that Ulberg's suspected injury is an ACL tear with a recovery time of 9-12 months, though official confirmation is pending this week.
