Fernand Lopez's heavyweight prospect Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut 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, who has a record of 6-13. Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when footage emerged of his sparring sessions with former UFC heavyweight title challenger Ciryl Gane. The post also notes that another Lopez protégé, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in a year and a half since his RCC appearance, but signed with manager Daniel Rubinstein in September, joining a roster that includes Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
