Edson Barboza says Kevin Lee was physically stronger than Khabib

Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced. Barboza described Lee as so powerful that he was simply lifted off the mat and slammed, while Khabib relied on technical grappling superiority rather than raw strength. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethee, saying he failed to execute the game plan by moving into a right overhand he never saw coming.
