Does a monk's Unarmed Strikes deal 2d4 damage if they have the Tavern Brawler feat?

If a monk gets the tavern brawler feat, does his martial arts damage stack with the 1d4 damage given with tavern brawler?

For example: could a 1st level monk deal 2d4 damage with his unarmed strikes if he had the tavern brawler feat?

          No, they don't.



          From the Monk's Martial Arts feature:




          You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon.




          From the Tavern Brawler feat (PHB, p. 170):




          Your unarmed strike uses a d4 for damage.




          Both abilities replace the unarmed strike damage die; they don't add to it. So if you have both abilities, you would still only roll 1d4 (plus Dex or Str mod).
