Coach baffled by Jiri Prochazka showing 'mercy' at UFC 327: 'You blew it'

Ray Longo is not buying Jiri Prochazka’s excuse for his UFC 327 loss to Carlos Ulberg.

Prochazka (32-6-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) was knocked out in the first round of his vacant light heavyweight title fight against Ulberg (14-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Ulberg hurt his knee during the fight, which prompted Prochazka to stalk him. Prochazka initially threw numerous leg kicks before claiming to show “mercy” by pulling back. Just moments later, he was clipped by an Ulberg left hook that put him out.

“We have to discuss mental illness in MMA because some things – it’s all funny when the guy is praying up on Mount Olympus and standing on his head, drinking his own piss, but this is what happens, man,” Longo said on “The Anik & Florian Podcast.”

“That poor guy was confused. ‘Mercy.’ Mercy, what the f*ck? You blew the f*cking fight. You blew it! You f*cking blew it! Holy sh*t, you’ve got to be kidding me. First of all, his first training is to go back and watch ‘The Karate Kid’ 1. You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me.”

Ulberg isn’t thrilled with Prochazka’s mercy claim either. He denied Prochazka’s call for a rematch and said he doesn’t see him in the title picture right now.
