Quick read

Edson Barboza says Kevin Lee was the most physically imposing opponent of his career, recalling that Lee simply picked him up and slammed him despite Barboza believing he could not be taken down. Barboza described Khabib Nurmagomedov as a technical master rather than a raw powerhouse, noting he was always one step ahead but did not hit particularly hard. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, explaining he failed to execute the game plan and was caught by a punch he never saw coming.
