MUHAMMAD ALI’S grandson scored a brutal knockout which left his opponent face down.
Amateur MMA prospect Biaggio Ali Walsh faced Joel Lopez on the undercard of the Professional Fighters League 2024 final.
And in what could be his last bout before turning pro, the American closed out the show in stunning style.
A big looping right hook in the second round dropped Lopez and sparked a follow up in strikes from Biaggio.
The referee was rightfully quick to step in and intervene as Biaggio recorded his sixth knockout in as many fights.
Prior to the bout in Washington, DC, he hinted that it could be his final as an amateur.

And after the fight, 25-year-old Biaggio said: “There’s so much going on in my mind right now.
“I’m still an amateur so I’m still getting used to just everything. To get this kind of experience as an amateur is insane.
“I’m super blessed and grateful. I don’t know, I’ll sit down with my coach and see what happens.
“But I’ll definitely announce soon, so everybody will know.”

The PFL in which Biaggio is signed to is made up of qualification and knockout stages.
Stars have two regular season bouts where points are earned per method of victory with the top four in each division progressing.
From there it is win-or-go-home, culminating in a series of finale fights where a title belt and $1million prize cheque is on the line.
Biaggio went 6-1 in the 2024 final and it could pave the way for the former football prospect to enter the lightweight season next year.
