If Obito could actually defeat Nagato in a straight up battle, he would've done so a long time ago. Especially considering the fact that he had no intention of reviving Madara anyway, it would've made sense for him to take Madara's original eyes from Nagato. He didn't because he knew he couldn't beat Nagato in a pitched battle without a severe cost. He has no way of actually hurting Nagato with anything he's got. The best he can do is warp himself away using Kamui. I don't think he could even take on the Six paths of pain directly and hope to win much less a healthy Nagato. That being said, white masked war arc obito is a whole other beast to deal with. That would be a battle for ages.
