Fernand Lopez's heavyweight prospect Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut knockout

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a devastating 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained public attention about a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane surfaced online. The post also notes that another former Lopez protégé, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his last appearance at RCC, but recently signed with manager Daniel Rubinstein's company in September, which also represents fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
