ONE Championship fires three key executives including Rich Franklin amid financial issues

ONE Championship has terminated three senior executives: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Shehler. The dismissals come as the promotion continues to face financial difficulties and event cancellations. The post suggests ONE Championship's position as a leading global MMA promotion is becoming increasingly uncertain. Fighters are departing, remaining athletes are inactive, key staff are being let go, and major fights and events are being canceled.
