Fernand Lopez's heavyweight student Dave Fotsing scores 46-second pro debut finish

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight student of Fernand Lopez, made his professional debut with a 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when video of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also mentions that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez previously mentored, has not fought in a year and a half since his last RCC appearance. However, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev, potentially signaling a career revival.
