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

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, recalling that Lee simply lifted him into the air and slammed him down. Barboza described Khabib as a technical master who was always one step ahead, but noted he did not fear Khabib's strikes — only his submissions. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to execute the game plan by moving the wrong direction into a punch he never saw coming.
