Quick read
ONE Championship has terminated three senior executives: former UFC fighter and vice president Rich Franklin, senior vice president of competition Matt Hume, and chief operating officer John Seler. The dismissals come amid ongoing financial difficulties and multiple event cancellations for the Asian promotion. The organization has been experiencing significant operational challenges, with fighters departing, remaining athletes competing infrequently, and major bouts being canceled. Industry observers are questioning ONE Championship's long-term viability as a leading global MMA promotion given these developments. The trend suggests the promotion may struggle to maintain its position among elite MMA organizations.
