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

Dave Fotzing, 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). Fotzing gained attention from the wider public a year ago when video of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was posted. The post also mentions Marcel Sychev, another Lopez student who was once highly touted but has not fought in a year and a half since his RCC appearance. Sychev signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September, which also represents Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
