Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, rating him above Khabib Nurmagomedov in terms of raw strength. Barboza described how Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him, while Khabib's dominance was rooted in technique rather than power. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Khabib, calling it a fight he views almost as a win given he went the full three rounds with a compromised shoulder following surgery. He added that he arrived at the Khabib fight with just five weeks' preparation and no prior training sessions after recovering from a serious operation involving four separate injuries to his shoulder and bicep.
