The lightweight prospect landed a perfect counter right hand over the top before hammering Stapleton on the ground.

After a series of ground and pound strikes, the referee was quick to step in to award Ali Walsh the stoppage win.

"I'm learning on the job. I got signed as an amateur when I was 1-1," he said.

"I'm learning on the job. I'm just trying to get better and better and improve and improve.

Ali Walsh - whose brother Nico is an 11-1 middleweight boxing prospect - had a 6-1 amateur MMA record.

But he has since racked up two wins under the Professional Fighters League after turning over.

And he continues to answer the critics who demand he lives up to his iconic fighting surname.

"Absolutely, I feel the pressure," Biaggio admitted.

"I felt the pressure since I was a little kid and the pressure's going to get worse as I progress in my career.

"It's going to get worse but my grandfather had a lot of pressure too. He had an insane amount of pressure and he handled it well.

"I don't have nearly as much pressure as he did but I welcome all the pressure in the world.

"I hope I become a diamond because pressure makes diamond."
