Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut knockout, Marcel Sychev signs with new management

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight student of Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout victory over Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing gained public attention a year ago when footage surfaced of him sparring with Ciryl Gane. Meanwhile, Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez once predicted great things for, has not fought in 18 months since his last RCC appearance. However, in September, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company, which represents fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev, potentially revitalizing his career.
