Quick read
ONE Championship has terminated three major executives from its leadership team: Vice President and former UFC fighter Rich Franklin, Senior Vice President of Competition Matt Hume, and Chief Operating Officer John Shuler. The firings come against a backdrop of ongoing financial difficulties and event cancellations for the promotion. The organization has been experiencing a troubling trend of fighter departures, reduced activity for remaining fighters, key staff layoffs, and cancellation of major bouts and events. The post suggests ONE's status as a leading global MMA promotion may be in jeopardy. The cuts indicate deeper structural problems within the Singapore-based organization.
