Quick read
ONE Championship has dismissed three senior executives from its leadership team: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Sheler. The dismissals come amid ongoing financial difficulties and event cancellations for the promotion. The departures are seen as part of a troubling trend for ONE Championship, which has been experiencing fighter exits, reduced activity for remaining athletes, key staff layoffs, and the cancellation of major fights and events. Industry observers are questioning the long-term viability of ONE Championship continuing as one of the leading MMA promotions globally.
