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

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the most physically powerful opponent he ever faced. Barboza explained that while Lee simply lifted and slammed him, Khabib dominated through technique, always anticipating his defensive adjustments. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Khabib, calling it a fight he considers almost a victory given he went the full three rounds with an undertrained camp and an unhealed injury.
