Fernand Lopez's student Dave Fotzing scores 46-second pro MMA debut knockout

Dave Fotzing, a 23-year-old heavyweight trained by Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito. Fotzing gained public attention a year ago when videos surfaced of his training sessions with former UFC heavyweight title challenger Ciryl Gane. The post also notes that another Lopez student, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September. Rubinstein manages fighters including Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
