Dave Fotsing, heavyweight pupil of Fernand Lopez, debuts with 46-second KO

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first drew public attention a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane emerged online. The post also mentions that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez once praised, has not competed in a year and a half since his last RCC bout, but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company (which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev) in September. There is hope that Sychev's career may now regain momentum under new management.
