Biaggio Ali Walsh, the grandson of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, was submitted within two rounds of his amateur MMA debut last night.
Walsh, a model and former American Football standout, made the switch to the cage last night at the Fusion Fight League's Rumble Under the Rims event against fellow debutant Devin Rothwell. And he looked solid, if inexperienced during the opening round of his first fight, hastily getting up from takedowns and showing major strength in the clinch.
His brother Nico, the undefeated 5-0 boxer signed to Top Rank Promotions, was in the crowd to watch the Xtreme Couture prospect make his bow, as well as family friend and rapper Flavor Flav. But it wasn't to be for Ali Walsh, with the fatigue setting in towards the end of the second.
