Fernand Lopez Protege Dave Fotsing Wins Pro Debut in 46 Seconds

Dave Fotsing, a 23-year-old heavyweight student of coach Fernand Lopez, made his professional MMA debut with a 46-second knockout of Luis Carlos de Brito. Brito entered the fight with a 6-13 record. Fotsing gained public attention a year ago when video surfaced of his sparring sessions with Ciryl Gane. The post also notes that another Lopez protege, Marcel Sychev, has not fought in 18 months since his RCC appearance but signed with Daniel Rubinstein's management company in September. Rubinstein's roster includes Petr Yan, Arman Tsarukyan, and Rafael Fiziev.
