Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, recalling that Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him despite Barboza believing he could not be taken down. Barboza described Khabib as a step-ahead technical grappler rather than an overpowering one, noting he actually considers his loss to Khabib a personal success given he went the full three rounds without a full training camp due to shoulder surgery. He also reflected on his knockout defeat to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to execute the game plan and was caught by a punch he never saw coming.
