well neither of the damaging shots was a rabbit punch.
and gomi didnt really land anything significant after that.
the 2nd gif is kinda hard to see, but it was flush for sure.
and i see rabbit punches in every boxing contest too. same policy.
warning and then points deduction. and in MMA its devastating cause its 3 rounders.

The guy's been fighting so long, seems like he really has been on the downside of things. But then again, who knows, maybe he just needs to go back to taking people down and outgrappling(as was the case vs. Nate Diaz and Spencer Fisher) them, instead of trying to showcase his striking.

Stevenson seemed to hit a plateau a few years ago, and his striking hasn't improved much in the last 2 years, but he insists on staying on his feet.
He was caught with a perfect punch, so I wouldn't say he's shot. Maybe he should take a page off Rashad Evans book and refocus on his grappling base.

I don't know if he's shot, but he has definitely plateaued.
Judging from his physique, it looks like he had a lot of trouble making weight. It could have contributed to him getting ktfo. Oh yeah, and running chin up into a punch doesn't help.
