Ray Longo criticizes Prochazka's excuses, Ulberg denies mercy claim

Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has sharply criticized Jiri Prochazka's post-fight explanations after his recent loss. Longo questioned Prochazka's mental state and dismissed his claim of showing mercy, stating that Prochazka simply made a severe mistake rather than exercising compassion. Carlos Ulberg also weighed in, denying Prochazka showed mercy and suggesting fear was the real factor. Ulberg accused Prochazka of playing to the audience and noted that Prochazka did not approach him after their fight. Ulberg predicted that Magomed Ankalaev would defeat Prochazka decisively. The controversy centers on Prochazka's explanation for his fighting decisions during his recent defeat.
