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

Edson Barboza revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent of his UFC career, saying Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him. Barboza described Khabib as a technical mastermind who was always one step ahead, while noting he entered that fight with only five weeks of preparation following major shoulder and bicep surgery. He also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to execute the game plan and was caught by a punch he never saw coming.
