ONE Championship fires three top executives amid ongoing financial struggles

ONE Championship has terminated three key executives: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Shuler. The dismissals come amid continuing financial difficulties and event cancellations for the Asian promotion. The report suggests ONE Championship is struggling to maintain its position as a leading global MMA organization, with fighters departing, those who remain fighting infrequently, key personnel being let go, and major fights and events being canceled. The situation raises questions about the long-term viability of the promotion.
