Barboza says Kevin Lee was physically stronger than Khabib, details fight against both
Quick read

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent of his career, describing how Lee simply lifted and slammed him despite his confidence he would not go down. Barboza said Khabib's dominance was rooted in technique rather than raw strength, always staying one step ahead on the mat. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, admitting he failed to execute the game plan by moving left into a right overhand he never saw coming.
