Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the most physically powerful opponent of his career, recalling that Lee simply lifted him off the mat and slammed him down. Barboza described Khabib as technically superior rather than physically dominant, noting that Nurmagomedov always seemed one step ahead on the ground. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to execute the game plan and was caught by a punch he never saw coming. Barboza added that he considers his loss to Khabib almost a victory, as he went the full three rounds while recovering from a serious shoulder surgery with only five weeks of preparation.
