Fight Preview
Biaggio Ali Walsh is fighting his first professional MMA bout on February 24, 2024. Before that, he fought seven amateur fights, five of which were organized by PFL. He won all of the PFL fights, as well as one organized by the Crown Fighting Championship.
His only loss happened on his debut, which saw him lose by rear naked choke. However, back then, he wasn’t a part of the Xtreme Couture team. With these guys coaching him, he’s probably upped his grappling/wrestling skills.
Nevertheless, as you’d expect from Muhammed Ali’s grandson, he’s a fantastic boxer. The evidence of this is that all of his six wins happened by KO/TKO.

Ali Walsh’s next opponent is Emmanuel Palacio, a 19-year-old fighter from Argentina who’s 1-0 overall. His only win happened by submission in a local promotion last year.
Biaggio Ali Walsh vs. Emmanuel Palacio Prediction
Biaggio Ali Walsh needs to be thought of as a huge favorite to win the PFL x Bellator: Champs fight. He’s just way, way better than Emmanuel Palacio when it comes to striking. Plus, we don’t think Palacio is so good at wrestling and grappling to be a real threat to the rising PFL star.
