Battle is a big middleweight at 6’1″. He uses his length and size very well on the mat but not like he should on the feet. He’s doesn’t use his reach effectively as he’s more of a guy to get inside the clinch and work from there. His striking defense is his biggest concern and his wrestling and grappling is where he’s best. I don’t think Battle is ready for top competition as I still think he’s an unfinished product.
