The other main difference(s) that everyone seems to be forgetting is that- Khabib did it first, and showed a gameplan for how to beat barboza, for which Kevin Lee followed to fucking T.
Also- Kevin got a Barboza that was recently beaten and somewhat deflated. By Khabib.
I'd also 100% contest that Lee 'holds his own standing'. Barboza ate his ass up standing and almost ko'd him. Theres a reason Kevin took him down as much as he did. Dems the facts.
That said- Kevin looked awesome and I'm really looking forward to a Kevin vs Khabib fight (which I think Khabib will win, albeit hard earned and likely will be his toughest fight ever).
