He comes off to me as tough and hard working as hell. I didn't expect him to win TUF, his fight with Petroski was a real eye opener

He's an intense dude and seemed really passionate/proud. He's pretty hittable and seemed to want to brawl a lot last night but again. That tenacity and energy is admirable. Last two fights were just so damn memorable

He might not be the cleanest or most gifted fighter but he works his ass off, is improving and brings a unique pace

His only ufc loss is to Fakertinov (sp?) Whos also extremely mean. Hasn't been finished since his amateur debut. Poor dude doesn't even have a wiki page

They need to put him in EA UFC, write his wiki page and give him bigger fights. A personality and skillset like his needs to breathe and prosper
 
not a fan, it's like he has to do something stupid to celebrate every win

that said he's fun to watch, not a world beater but an enterteining fighter and yesterday i was rooting for him, glad he won.

He kinda got surprised by his wrestling I think. I would pick Battle by stoppage now
 
Tough guy, ate some serious shots and walked through them. Jousset can also take a beating. Sometimes when two tough guys with solid chins and questionable defense meet, you can just see their careers shortening as the fight goes on. Good stoppage by the ref. Battle flat out out struck and outlasted his opponent.

By petrosian I assume you mean Rinat?

Battle has proven himself to be the complete package. He's looked flawless on TUF and in the UFC other than the Rinat fight.

I like watching him fight, and have even been rooting for him lately. . .

But a couple soft "red flags" for me are that he seems like a bit of a head case and/or insecure, and changed almost completely his personal between the last fight and now, which is weird to me any way you slice it. Playing thug tuff suddenly (lol when you're awkward and have a full back-tat of Dragonball) is preeetty cringe. I could see him doing well and getting even better, but I could also see him being unstable like Uriah Hall (boof, was hard being a fan of his).
