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 had drawn public attention a year earlier when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also notes that another Lopez protégé, Marsel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance, though he signed with manager Daniel Rubinstein (who also manages Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev) in September. Details about Fotsing's technique or future plans were not provided in the original post.
