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

Edson Barboza has named Kevin Lee as the physically strongest opponent he ever faced, saying Lee simply lifted him off the ground and slammed him down — something he did not expect. Barboza described Khabib Nurmagomedov as a technical master rather than a raw powerhouse, noting that Khabib was always one step ahead and that the submission threat, not striking power, was what he feared. Barboza also reflected on his stoppage loss to Justin Gaethje, saying he failed to follow the game plan by drifting left into a right overhand he never saw coming.
