Quick read
Edson Barboza has revealed that Kevin Lee, not Khabib Nurmagomedov, was the physically strongest opponent he ever faced. Barboza said Lee simply picked him up and slammed him to the mat, whereas Khabib relied on superior technique, always staying one step ahead on the ground. Barboza also reflected on his loss to Justin Gaethje, explaining he failed to execute the game plan and was caught by a punch he never saw coming. He also disclosed that he fought Beneil Dariush with a torn bicep and went into the Khabib fight just five weeks after major shoulder surgery with no training.
