What happened: Dana White has expressed his support for a potential ban on oblique kicks in mixed martial arts. White stated he does not disagree with California State Athletic Commission chief Andy Foster, who is spearheading an effort to remove the strike from the sport.

Why it matters: The effort to ban oblique kicks centers on the technique's potential for causing severe injuries. Foster is considered a highly influential figure among athletic commissions, and his efforts, now backed by White, indicate strong momentum for a unified rule change.

What to watch: The proposal will need to navigate formal regulatory channels before any changes are officially adopted into the unified rules.
