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

Ray Longo, coach to Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has called for discussion of mental health issues in MMA following Jiri Prochazka's recent performance. Longo mocked Prochazka's unconventional training methods including standing on his head and drinking his own urine, suggesting the fighter was "completely lost" after his defeat. Carlos Ulberg disputed Prochazka's claim that he showed mercy in their fight, stating it was actually fear that held him back. Ulberg accused Prochazka of playing to the public and making excuses to get a rematch, adding that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight. There are also reports of tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg. Additionally, Ulberg is dealing with a suspected ACL tear that could sideline him for 9-12 months pending confirmation.
