while (($rows = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) != null)

{
   echo "< option value = '{$rows['battle_number']}'";

   if ($result['battle_number'] == $rows['battle_number'])

    echo "selected = 'selected'";

    echo ">{$rows['name']}</option>";
}

Corrected and simplified code:

<?php
echo '<select name="battle">';
while ($rows = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
  $selected = ($result['battle_number'] == $rows['battle_number']) ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
  echo '<option value = "'.$rows['battle_number'] . '" ' . $selected. '>' . $rows['name'] . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
?>
