Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernand Lopez, made a successful professional MMA debut by finishing Luis Carlos de Brito in just 46 seconds. Brito came into the fight with a 6-13 record. Fotsing first gained attention from the wider MMA community a year ago when video of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also mentions that another Lopez protege, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance, but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
