Edson Barboza says Kevin Lee was physically stronger than Khabib
Quick read

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee was the most physically powerful opponent he ever faced, surpassing even Khabib Nurmagomedov, who he said won through technique rather than raw strength. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, explaining he failed to execute the game plan his team had drilled for two months. He added that he considers his defeat to Khabib a learning experience, noting he had gone into that fight with only five weeks of preparation while recovering from a serious shoulder and bicep surgery.
