Fernand Lopez's heavyweight prospect Dave Fotsing wins pro debut in 46 seconds

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 holds a 6-13 record. Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when video surfaced of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane. The post also mentions Marcel Sychev, another Lopez protégé who was once highly touted. Sychev has not fought in a year and a half since his RCC appearance, but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
