Quick read
ONE Championship has terminated three major executives: vice president and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Shaeler. The firings come amid ongoing financial difficulties and event cancellations for the organization. The post suggests ONE Championship's future as a leading global MMA promotion is uncertain given the trend of fighters leaving, remaining fighters competing infrequently, key personnel being dismissed, and major fights and events being cancelled. The situation appears dire for the Asian-based promotion that once positioned itself as a major rival to UFC.
