Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight student of Fernando Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a devastating 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained widespread attention a year ago when footage surfaced of his training sessions with UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane. The post also notes that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez once predicted a bright future for, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company (which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev) in September. This management move could potentially revitalize Sychev's stalled career.
