Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos is known as one of MMA\u2019s most vicious offensive fighters. His ability to batter his opponents with lightning quick punches and kicks has led to a series of highlight reel stoppages over the course of his career. Today, Dos Anjos is known as one of the most feared competitors in the UFC.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/p>\n

Rafael Dos Anjos is one of the top welterweights in the world<\/b><\/h4>\n

Throughout his career he has defeated some of the UFC\u2019s biggest names. Between 2014 and 2015 alone, Dos Anjos beat Benson Henderson, Nate Diaz, Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone. That\u2019s an impressive list of elite fighters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, Dos Anjos made his welterweight debut, defeating Tarec Saffiedine via decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muay Thai, and ancient martial art developed by Thailand, is both brutal and beautiful in its artistry. The \u201cArt of Eight Limbs\u201d utilizes the human body\u2019s most potent offensive weapons — the hands, the feet, the elbows, and the knees. With a solid Muay Thai game, fighters can go into battle with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the video here<\/b><\/h4>\n

In this <\/span>video that Evolve Vacation shares with us today<\/span><\/a>, Dos Anjos shows us an interesting technique we can try. In the following clip, Dos Anjos executes a jumping switch knee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standing next to the 6-foot tall Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Bruno Pucci, Dos Anjos tells students to start off with some punching combinations first to get break through the opponent\u2019s glove guard. Once some space is created in between, you can explode upwards to throw a switch knee.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrow it right down the middle,\u201d Dos Anjos says, making the move seem easy. In reality however, it probably takes months of practice to get this move correctly. It\u2019s an uncommon strike that you can use to stun foes who aren\u2019t expecting it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
