Pretty much went the way I expected, the decision isn't close. Kape is the real deal.

Now watch Armen destroy Damir.

Kape proved that he might be most athletic 125er in the world but with the IQ worse than Schaub.

Battle is the much better fighter imo, but I really really did not like the look of him on the scales and the short notice against a wrestler who won't stop. 

I think Rinat has good takedowns, is very fast and chains well, but does not have great control and people can stand up. But he takes them down again which is what is impressive. The problem here is Battle gets taken down easily and controlled on the bottom, he seems to find it difficult to get up and plays off his back too much. With a compromised gas tank I am not sure how that will go.

I would have picked Battle if not for the short notice and weight cut, but with that I think Rinat wins, even gets a late ground and pound finish. But this is one fight I could be very wrong about.

I went back and forth on this pick. Not enough out there to justify picking Rinat even though I really dislike Battle and will fade him heavily against opponents with good gas tanks and wrestling.
