2025 PFL 7 video: Ronnie Gibbs takes Biaggio Ali Walsh's undefeated record in giant upset
One of the biggest upsets in PFL history – and the sport – was registered this Friday night.
Biaggio Ali Walsh, grandson of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and one of PFL's most promoted names, was submitted by promotional newcomer Ronnie Gibbs in a shocking result at 2025 PFL World Tournament 7 (ESPN, ESPN+), which took place at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
Ali Walsh (2-1) entered the bout on some sports books as high as a -2000 favorite. Gibbs (2-0) was also fighting at lightweight, a weight class above his usual fighting weight of 145 pounds.
Yet, despite the weight disadvantage, odds, and getting beat in the first round of their three-round contest, Gibbs got a takedown in the second, landed some heavy ground-and-pound and then submitted Ali Walsh with an arm triangle choke.
You can watch Gibbs' big upset win in the video below:
