Barboza says Kevin Lee was physically stronger than Khabib
Quick read

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, describing how Lee lifted him off the ground and slammed him despite Barboza believing a takedown was impossible. Barboza contrasted Lee's raw strength with Khabib Nurmagomedov's technical brilliance, noting that Khabib was always a step ahead on the mat but did not hit hard. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, explaining that he moved in the wrong direction against the fence and was caught by a punch he never saw.
