Raizek vs BFK Rathalos: A pretty tough match thanks to BFK Rathalos' beefud up health and attack, plus we don't know if Raizek has a significant fire resistance or immunity like Seregios. However, Raizek is seen not shying away from air battles and I'm pretty sure its savage attitude would either make it fast enough to evade or simply ignore all attacks BFK Rathlos can throw at it while closing the distance, making the superior flying skills of the BFK 'Los null and void. I also believe that BFK 'Los shell is still not stronger than Raizeks, meaning that it can dish out quite the damage in melee range. And that's not taking into account that BFK 'Los second elemental weakness is still thunder, which Raizek wields. Combine this with its hard hitting physical attacks, I think Raizek would definetly win.

Raizek vs Rajang: Long story short, Raizek gets wrecked. Rajang has way more powerful physical attacks can take alot more punishment than Raizek and is immune to thunder. Yes, Raizek has a spikey shell, but that doesn't mean that Rajang could not attack it without hurting itself greatly in the process. Those spikes aren't everywhere on its body. Rajang can also buff its fists, which make them harder and uneffected by the spikes (based on the fact that every sharpness but pruple makes you bounce on its arms in that state). If everything else fails, Rajang can just grab boulders and other hard stuff in the area and throw them at Raizek. Sure, Raizek could dodge them by flying, but Raizek is not a very skilled flyer and Rajang can throw these objects very far.

Tigrex vs Gamuto: Tigrex sure has powerful jaws that could maybe crush the armor plates on Gamuto if given enough time, but Tigrex is pretty damn dump and would probably just charge towards head on or try jumping on it from above like seen in the intro cutscene. Gamuto is also pretty tough on its entire body, even the parts without any armor because of the fur. Tigrex will sooner or later get grabbed by Gamuto and then it only has to hold it long enough to squash it with its legs.

Tamamitsune vs Zinogre: A tough one. From what we have seen in the intro cutscene as well as the ecology video, it almost looks like Tama is a pretty passive creature, preferring to dodge attacks rather then dish them out. Zinogre is fast, esspecially when charged, but Tama soaks the entire area in its bubble fluid, making it hard for Zinogre to not slip. They have a draw on the elemental side, Tama is weak to Zinogre's thunder, Zinogre is weak to Tama's water. And as mentioned, it is outright stated that Tama have evolved to handle with Zinogres. I'll call this a draw.

HSL Lagombi vs CH Aruzuros: Lagombi is superior in every aspect. It is faster than Arzuros, has far more range than it, and its huge chunks hurt way more than the claw slashes from Arzuros. Also Arzuros has a ice weakness, so as soon as Lagombi can dish out its ice attacks, its over.

Raizek vs Seregios: They are both quite aggressive monsters so I think in terms of flying skills and ground fighting they are roughly euqal. It depends on if Seregios can manage to avoid Raizeks wings in order to attack with its feet, as well as on the fact if Seregios scales can actually penetrate Raizeks shell, so it can make Raizek bleed. However Raizek wields thunder, the element Seregios is weakest to, so unless Seregios is very good at dodging the attacks, it will loose that fight.

Deviljho vs Gamuto: A tough one. Gamuto is big, strong and armored. Deviljho is also strong, big and has a huge bite force in its jaw, probably abel to crush Gamutos armor plates on the head and probably the tusks too. Add to this that Deviljho also had accidic saliva that heavily damages any armor its opponent might have, I'd say that Deviljhos pure strenght is able to surpass Gamutos defenses. Deviljho would get a huge chunk of meat for its next meal.
