Fernando Lopes' heavyweight student Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut knockout

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernando Lopes, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout victory over Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained wider public attention a year ago when sparring footage with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also notes that another former Lopes protégé, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in a year and a half since his RCC appearance, but signed with manager Daniel Rubinstein in September, joining a roster that includes Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
