PFL books Biaggio Ali Walsh for second professional fight

Muhammad Ali’s surging MMA fighter of a grandson will look to preserve his undefeated professional record this August.

Biaggio Ali Walsh returns Aug. 16 vs. undefeated Korey Taylor at 2024 PFL Playoffs 2. The event takes place at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The fight will take place on the main card at lightweight.

Promotion officials recently informed MMA Junkie of the matchup.

Ali Walsh (1-0) went 6-1 as an amateur with six knockouts before his pro debut at PFL vs. Bellator: Champions in February when he defeated Emanuel Palacio by unanimous decision.

Taylor (4-0) is the most experienced test Ali Walsh has faced to date. He’s competed exclusively under the Combat Night (Fla.) promotion. He went 6-1 with them as an amateur and has since gone 4-0 with four first-round finishes as a professional. However, Ali Walsh will be the first pro fighter he’s faced with a winning record.

With the addition, the 2024 PFL Playoffs 2 lineup includes:

  • Impa Kasanganay vs. Josh Silveira – light heavyweight semifinal
  • Rob Wilkinson vs. Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov – light heavyweight semifinal
  • Clay Collard vs. Brent Primus – lightweight semifinal
  • Michael Dufort vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov – lightweight semifinal
  • Biaggio Ali Walsh vs. Korey Taylor
  • Brayden Akeo vs. Jordan Oliver
