ONE Championship fires three top executives amid financial struggles

ONE Championship has dismissed three key executives from its leadership team: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competitions Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Schieler. The dismissals come amid ongoing financial difficulties for the promotion, which has been canceling events and experiencing fighter departures. The post suggests that ONE Championship may not be able to continue functioning as one of the world's leading MMA promotions for much longer. Key fighters are leaving, those who remain are fighting infrequently, and major fights and events continue to be canceled. The situation raises concerns about the organization's long-term viability.
