Fernando Lopez's student Dave Fotsing wins pro debut in 46 seconds

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight student of coach Fernando Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito (6-13). Fotsing gained public attention a year ago when video of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also notes that another Lopez prospect, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance. However, Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents fighters like Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev, suggesting his career may be revitalized.
