Fernando Lopes protégé Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut knockout

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernando Lopes, made his professional MMA debut with a devastating 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also notes that another Lopes protégé, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance, but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September. Rubinstein's roster includes top UFC fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
