Meh... I wouldn't be so sure... I personally don't see how Ancalagon could defeat Gothmog.
Yes, Ecthelion did it, but he did so using a trick, noth through "normal" combat, I don't know how Ancalagon would manage that. I mean, his fire wouldn't be of use I guess, since Balrogs are creatures of flame and shadows. The only thing would be trying to bite him or maybe pick him up and let him fall from a certain height, but I don't see him being able to do either thing with Gothmog hitting him with his axe and the whip.
