Biaggo Ali Walsh had no interest in entertaining being called out by Jake Paul after claiming the latest win of his MMA career. The grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali won his fifth straight MMA fight via knockout in New York on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Ali Walsh outclassed Ed Davis in their amateur lightweight fight on the undercard of the PFL Playoffs at The Theatre in Madison Square Garden. He apologized to fans immediately after what he deemed to be a premature stoppage by the referee but nonetheless marked a fifth straight victory to keep his career on track.<\/p>\n
He has recently been called out by Jake Paul, who is keen on money-spinning bouts with Biaggio and brother Nico, a top boxing prospect, in a bid take down two of Ali\u2019s grandsons. But the MMA fighter insists he has no interest in being drawn into a fight that makes \u201cno sense\u201d as he focuses on his own journey in pursuit of stardom.<\/p>\n
Speaking to media after his win, Ali Walsh said when asked about Paul calling him out: \u201cAgain, though? Does it keep happening?<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really care. It doesn\u2019t make sense to me. I fight at 155, he fights at 185.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can call me out 30 times, it’s really not going to do something. I\u2019m an MMA fighter and I\u2019m still an amateur, isn\u2019t he a pro?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a pro fighter, I\u2019m an amateur. I\u2019m still working my way up and I\u2019m not really a name vs name money fight right now, I\u2019m just focusing on what I\u2019m trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite moving his record to 5-1 and extending his unbeaten record since fighting under PFL – the promotion Paul signed for earlier this year – Ali Walsh was frustrated after his win over Davis.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m honest I\u2019m not really that happy with my performance. I felt calmer but there are certain things I\u2019ve got to do to just get better and better.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what fighting\u2019s all about. The fighting journey is a learning journey as well and it’s all about just getting better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
