Interview

Quick read

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced. Barboza said Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him, while Khabib won through technique, always staying one step ahead on the mat. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to execute the gameplan by moving in the wrong direction near the fence and never saw the finishing punch coming.
