Former UFC champ scolds attempts to ban Jon Jones' oblique kick technique

Darren Till gets honest about his performance in win over Yoel Romero
Credit: Zuffa LLCA former UFC titleholder believes banning oblique kicks, made famous by Jon Jones and others, would be a significant mistake.
California State Athletic Commission executive Andy Foster, one of the most prominent voices in mixed martial arts, made headlines this week by expressing interest in banning oblique kicks. Jon Jones used oblique kicks during multiple title reigns, including wins over Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic, and Quinton ‘Rampage' Jackson.
Foster said that fighters aren't likely to make a quick recovery from leg injuries suffered from oblique kicks, as evidenced by UFC fighter Nursulton Ruziboev's recent ailment. Since Jones' retirement last year, the debate surrounding oblique kicks has ratcheted up.
But according to one former champion, Foster's efforts to get oblique kicks removed could backfire.
Aljamain Sterling criticizes attempts to ban kicks made famous by Jon Jones
In a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling shared an opposing stance against Foster's efforts to ban oblique kicks.
“[Andy Foster] has gotta stop with this bull—-,†Sterling said of attempts to ban Jones' oblique kicks.
“It takes too long to recover? I mean, how do you recover from CTE? What the f— are we talking about? We're getting head kicked with no shin pads on. We're getting elbowed to the dome multiple times because referees want to watch a murder scene happen in real time. Can we fix accountability for following the rules first before we start trying to add new rules and change stuff?
“An oblique kick? Move your leg out the f—— way,†Sterling continued on Jones and Foster. “How about that? How about you practice the technique of moving your leg out of the way?â€
As of this writing, there isn't a plan in motion to get oblique kicks removed universally from mixed martial arts, but it could be a major talking point in 2027.

Conor McGregor gets unexpected UFC title backing from Jose Aldo

Aldo has offered some advice and encouragement to former rival
Conor
McGregor.
McGregor injured his knee in the opening seconds of his rematch
against Max
Holloway in July, which marked the end of a five-year Octagon
hiatus. He damaged his ACL and meniscus and underwent surgery in
August. The Irishman is targeting a return in the summer of 2027
for what would be the final bout of his
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.
Not only does Aldo wish McGregor the best, but he also believes the
former two-division champion can shake things up at lightweight and
potentially reclaim UFC gold.
Jose Aldo believes Conor McGregor can re-enter the UFC
lightweight title picture at 155
Aldo and McGregor shared a contentious relationship in the lead-up
to their 2015 title bout, which McGregor won by knockout in just 13
seconds, ending Aldo's 18-fight, nearly decade-long winning streak.
McGregor frequently mocked and belittled Aldo as part of his
pre-fight psychological warfare.
Nevertheless, Aldo no longer holds any ill will toward McGregor and
wants him to return to the win column. He believes his former foe
should consider returning to lightweight rather than competing at
welterweight when he comes back.
“I always hope for the best, so I hope that tomorrow he's doing
well physically and psychologically, too, and that he can return to
the UFC and have great fights again,†Aldo told MMA Fighting. “I think first he needs to go
through some dietary re-education to see if he can get back down
and be lighter again. I think, in my opinion, he has the frame for
155, so it would be good.â€
The Brazilian also believes McGregor could quickly work his way
into title contention with a significant victory.
“And I'll tell you this… Today, if Conor fights at 155 and beats a
name, the division is wide open again,†Aldo added. “To me, the
division has kind of stalled there. Ilia [Topuria] moved up and
lost to [Justin] Gaethje, so it's a bit of a mess there and anyone
can come in and snatch the title.â€

Chimaev and Colby
Covington are finally set to square off.
Real American Freestyle announced Wednesday that the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight titleholder and
former interim champion will collide for the cruiserweight
crossover championship at RAF Abu Dhabi on Nov. 14. The event will
take place at Etihad Arena.
Khamzat Chimaev will challenge Colby Covington for the RAF
cruiserweight crossover title in Abu Dhabi
Covington captured RAF's inaugural cruiserweight crossover
championship by defeating Arman
Tsarukyan at RAF 11. Chimaev later called for a match against
“Chaos†after his recent victory over Gilbert
Burns. That bout served as the co-headliner at RAF 13, where
Covington defended his title against Belal
Muhammad.
The feud between Covington and Chimaev dates back to Covington's
time in the UFC, and the bad blood continues to this day.
RAF Abu Dhabi will also feature Arman
Tsarukyan, Henry
Cejudo, Jordan Burroughs, Kyle Snyder and Abdulrashid Sadulaev,
with their opponents yet to be announced.
The inaugural RAF Abu Dhabi event marks the start of a five-year
partnership between Real American Freestyle, the Department of
Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) and the UAE
Wrestling Federation.
