ONE Championship releases Garry Tonon, Magomed Akaev and three others

ONE Championship has released a new batch of fighters from their roster, including notable MMA competitor Garry Tonon. The MMA releases include Tonon (9-2) and Magomed Akaev (10-2), while three Muay Thai fighters were also cut: Stefan Korodi (2-3-0), Amber Kitchen (0-2-0), and Zafer Sayik (0-3-0). Tonon's release is particularly surprising as he fought all his professional MMA bouts under the ONE banner, challenged for a title, and is one of the world's most accomplished grapplers. The release of Tonon stands out compared to the others, who struggled to find success in the promotion and lacked significant media presence.
