ONE Championship fires three key executives amid ongoing financial troubles

ONE Championship has terminated three major executives from their leadership team: Vice President and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, Senior Vice President of Competition Matt Hume, and Chief Operating Officer John Shaeler. These dismissals come as the organization faces continued financial difficulties and event cancellations. The post suggests these moves indicate ONE Championship's struggles to maintain its position as a leading global MMA promotion. Fighters are leaving the organization, those who remain are competing infrequently, major fights and events are being cancelled, and now key personnel are being let go. The post includes a plea for Russian fighter Anatoly Malykhin to leave the promotion.
