[SPOILER] Ryze's Biography - Improvement?

"Ryze looked into Yago’s face to see that it had been transfigured into a scowling visage—that of a fiend, no longer recognizable as the man Ryze once had once known."

Would "as the man Ryze once had once known." read better as: "as the man Ryze once had known." or "as the man Ryze had known once." ?

I wasn't sure where else to ask this / point this out.

Did anyone else catch this or am I wrong or does it not matter?
