Here you go.

Ken may be a better long-ranged fighter, and being trained by Gouken means he is an incredible fighter, but Nightwing has been trained by Batman, one of the greatest martial artists in the world, meaning he has more combat training and has the advantage in close quarters combat. Sure, Ken would be difficult for Nightwing to predict, but Nightwing's time with Batman and the rest of the Justice League let him predict Ken's attacks over time. Plus, Nightwing has gone up against foes like Joker, Bane, Catwoman, and even Batman on a few occasions, foes that would take Ken down with very little difficulty. Ken's fire attacks would make it difficult for Nightwing to get in close, but when you're fighting a guy who can avoid them, counter them, and attack way before you can let out those attacks, there's not really much you can do.
