Ray Longo, trainer of Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling, has made controversial comments about mental health in MMA following Jiri Prochazka's recent performance. Longo criticized Prochazka's unconventional methods, including praying to Olympus, standing on his head, and drinking his own urine. He stated that while these behaviors may seem entertaining, they reflect deeper issues, pointing to Prochazka's post-fight confusion when he claimed to have shown "mercy." Longo bluntly stated that Prochazka "just got beat badly" rather than showing compassion. Carlos Ulberg also dismissed Prochazka's mercy claims, saying fear was the real issue and accusing the Czech fighter of making excuses to secure a rematch. Ulberg noted that Prochazka didn't approach him after the fight and questioned the authenticity of his public persona. The post also mentioned that Donald Trump told Paulo Costa he is "too handsome to be a fighter" after a recent bout, and noted apparent tension at City Kickboxing gym between Israel Adesanya and Ulberg. Additionally, Ulberg is suspected to have suffered an ACL tear with an estimated 9-12 month recovery time, pending confirmation this week.
