UFC CEO Dana White Endorses California Commission’s Push to Ban Oblique Kicks
UFC CEO Dana White has publicly supported the California State Athletic Commission’s proposal to ban oblique kicks to the knee in mixed martial arts. The discussion follows a controversial preliminary bout at UFC 331 in Los Angeles, where fighter Edmen Shahbazyan mistakenly believed the technique was illegal. While the move is currently only a proposal, it signals a potential shift in the sport’s Unified Rules.
