ONE Championship fires three key executives amid financial troubles

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 Jon Seler. The dismissals come amid ongoing financial difficulties and event cancellations for the Asian promotion. The post suggests these personnel changes indicate ONE Championship's declining status as a leading global MMA organization. Fighters are reportedly leaving the promotion, those remaining are fighting infrequently, major fights and events are being canceled, and now key staff are being let go.
