Dave Fotsing, Fernando Lopez's student, scores 46-second pro debut knockout

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernando Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout victory over Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when video surfaced of him sparring with Ciryl Gane. The post also mentions that Marcel Sychev, another Lopez protégé once touted for a big future, has not fought in a year and a half since his last RCC appearance. However, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev, potentially reviving his career prospects.
