I put this as memorable vicious kos a while back.

Could it happen again? Anything is possible, but you have a different fighter in dos anjos now versus then

Yeah this knockout was just brutal as soon as he landed that uppercut you just heard a loud thud

i loved that fight. you could tell rda had potential. he was all over stephens in that fight. a great win for stephens, and i can't see him winning that fight now.

RDA of today doesn't even resemble the RDA of 5-7 years ago. His evolution has been incredible.

Yep.
That was the best MMA uppercut I've ever seen.
I'm on the fence with RDA.
I think he's an anomaly that benefitted enormously from former use of PED's.
I just don't see how anyone could raise their level that much over that period of time.
I hate to come off negative, and of course hope I'm wrong, but I'd call myself an idiot if I didn't think something was up.
Yeah Stephens could do it again.(won't)
Signed!

I think a major reason why is because of the addition of nick curson who is a great strength and conditioning coach which aided rda in become a easy better athlete all around and remember rda never tested positive for peds (correct me if I'm wrong) he was only accused by a couple fighter right ? And just all those years putting in word at Kings mma gave him a well rounded skillset of muaythai and bjj I think he just finally came into his own. And my favorite uppercuts in ufc are
-JDS vs werdum
-lil heathen vs rda
-Freddy Serrano vs betly syler
-Paulo thiago vs koschek
-brad pickett vs Yves jaboiun

Ever since RDA started working with Rafael Cordiero at KingsMMA he has improved in leaps and bounds, a long with Werdum. From what I hear that gym is quite a crucible, in that they go hard in practice a fair amount, forcing an almost sink or swim environment. I could see that sort of environment being good for fast improvements, but perhaps not career longevity.
