Biaggio Walsh, the grandson of famed boxer Muhammad Ali, was knocked out in the first two rounds of his amateur MMA debut on Friday night.

The former NFL player and model debuted in the cage last night at the Fusion Fight League’s Rumble Under the Rims event against fellow newcomer Devin Rothwell.

Ali’s grandson looked great in his debut fight, drew a decent crowd, and floored his opponent with a brilliant three-punch combination in the style of his grandpa early in the round, but was swiftly knocked down.

His brother Nico, the unbeaten 5-0 fighter contracted to Top Rank Promotions, and family friend and rapper Flavor Flav were in the crowd to witness the Xtreme Couture hopeful make his debut.

And it was his failure to withstand Rothwell’s persistent pressure that finally cost Ali Walsh.

The battle was close throughout, with Ali Walsh’s natural hitting talents on display in the stand-up exchanges. But, with neither man prepared in the cardio area, Rothwell’s clumsy takedown put him in a perilous situation. Ali Walsh was forced to tap with little under a minute remaining in the second round after being trapped into a rear-naked choke.
