No relative newcomer should ever even consider throwing a rear uppercut. Throwing an uppercut as the first punch in a combo is a bad idea full stop unless you are practicing in-fighting which as a relative newcomer you won't be. Never throw an uppercut from outside or long range especially as a first punch. You're just asking to be brutally knocked out cold. Lopez and Marquez can do it because they're amazing, but don't try it. It's much too easy to counter and is easily seen if you try it from long range.
Look at Chuck Lidell vs Rashad evans to see what a right uppercut lead can get you (in combination with left hand down and chin lifted!).
