Edson Barboza Says Kevin Lee Was Physically Stronger Than Khabib
Quick read

Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the most physically powerful opponent he ever faced. Barboza recalled Lee lifting him off the ground and slamming him despite his belief that a takedown was impossible, while noting that Khabib relied more on technical wrestling. Barboza also disclosed that he fought Khabib with only five weeks of preparation while still recovering from major shoulder and biceps surgery, and that he entered the Gaethje fight having trained a specific game plan for two months that he failed to execute in the cage.
