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

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernando Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a dominant 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito. Fotsing first gained public attention a year ago when video footage of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane was released. The post also notes that Marcel Sychev, another fighter Lopez previously mentored and predicted a bright future for, has not competed 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.
