Now I've gotta sort this knee out."It about getting those moments. He said he'd hunt me but you can't hunt what you can't kill."Former champion Prochazka, 33, closed his eyes in dejection after the contest, before revealing he dropped his guard after feeling "mercy" for Ulberg when he realised his knee was injured."It happened. I felt mercy. I felt sorry for him in that fight." said Prochazka."This is one of the biggest lesson in my life. I still can't understand. That fight was won. I had it. It was in my hand but I left him because I saw his injury."US President Donald Trump chose to attend the event, watching from octagon-side, at a time when Vice-President JD Vance was in Pakistan for what turned out to be unsuccessful peace talks with Iran.The UFC is set to host an event at the White House on 14 June to celebrate 250 years of American independence.
