Quick read
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 Schieler. The layoffs come amid ongoing financial difficulties and event cancellations plaguing the promotion. The organization has been experiencing a troubling trend of fighters departing, reduced fight activity for remaining roster members, and cancellation of major bouts and events. Industry observers suggest these developments indicate ONE Championship may struggle to maintain its position as a leading global MMA promotion. The financial pressures appear to be forcing significant restructuring at the executive level.
