Sure, Kevin Lee stopped Edson Barboza in the middle of the 5th round in the main event of UFC Atlantic City. But to get there, Kevin Lee had to eat a legendary head kick from Edson Barboza.
OHHHHHHHHHHH Barboza throws a spinning head-kick and it LANDS but Lee survives!!! Wow!! #UFCAC pic.twitter.com/m7qE4z8vRf

Let’s queue that one up one more time. Because any normal human being would be been sent to the crematorium after getting hit with this spinning shit.
MMA Lords have mercy… That’s brutal to watch.
What’s crazy is that Kevin Lee recovers so well that you could argue that he wins this third round. Without a doubt, by the end of the third, Lee was taking control and winning the stand up by the end of the round.
Huge salute of respect to Kevin Lee. Let’s remember the soldiers who weren’t as fortunate during their encounter with Barboza’s head kick.
