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

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 widespread attention a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released online. The post also mentions that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopes previously touted, has been inactive for 18 months since his last appearance at RCC. However, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
