Biaggio Ali Walsh is back in the win column.
Walsh, grandson of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, bounced back in style from his first professional MMA defeat this Friday on the preliminary card of 2025 PFL World Tournament 9 – which went down at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C.
After two rounds, Walsh (3-1) was able to find the chin of his opponent, Adryan Grundy (3-2), rocking him and sending him down to the canvas, where he landed a few follow-up shots to get a KO win. Walsh had suffered his first professional defeat in June, losing to Ronnie Gibbs by submission.
