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

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 wider attention a year ago when footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane surfaced online. The post also notes that Marcel Sychev, another Lopes protege who was predicted to have a big future, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance. However, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev, offering hope his career may get back on track.
