Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the most physically powerful opponent he has faced. Barboza explained that while Khabib dominated him with technique and grappling intelligence, Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him, a display of raw strength unlike anything else he encountered. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Khabib, noting he went into that fight with just five weeks of preparation following major shoulder and bicep surgery, and considers it among his most educational defeats. On Justin Gaethje, Barboza said the KO loss came down to a punch he never saw, not exceptional power.
