Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, recalling that Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him. Barboza described Khabib as technically superior rather than overwhelmingly powerful, noting that Nurmagomedov was always one step ahead with his grappling. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, admitting he moved the wrong direction at the fence and never saw the finishing punch. Barboza revealed he entered his fight with Khabib just five weeks after shoulder surgery, with four separate injuries including a torn bicep and broken bone, and had not completed a single training session.
