ONE Championship has cut several fighters from its MMA and Muay Thai rosters in a recent wave of releases. Notable departures include MMA fighters Garry Tonon (9-2) and Magomed Akaev (10-2), along with Muay Thai competitors Stefan Korodi (2-3-0), Amber Kitchen (0-2-0), and Zafer Sayik (0-3-0). While the cuts of fighters with losing records are viewed as predictable, Tonon's release is considered surprising given his successful run with the promotion. The highly credentialed grappler competed exclusively in ONE, accumulated numerous victories, and even challenged for a championship. His departure is unexpected considering his status as one of the most accomplished grapplers in the sport.
