ONE Championship lays off sizable chunk of workforce to ‘ensure its longevity’

ONE Championship announced on Monday that they’re laying off “20%” of their workforce.

The Singapore-based MMA promotion, which has been known for making very bold claims, unsurprisingly had their unique way of revealing the unfortunate news.

Their press release was mainly about claiming to add $70 million to its “war chest” from undisclosed “existing and new” investors, but they also mention a decision to have a “20% reduction of total worldwide headcount.” The news was something their President was apparently “thrilled to announce.”
