ONE Championship fires three key executives amid financial troubles

ONE Championship has dismissed three senior executives: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Sheler. The firings come amid ongoing financial problems and event cancellations for the Asian promotion. The report suggests ONE Championship's position as a leading global MMA organization is becoming increasingly uncertain, with fighters departing, reduced activity for those who remain, key staff being let go, and major fights and events being canceled.
