Who would win a dragon or a Balrog?
Balrog vs dragon, as a general setup, is simple to answer. Balrog. Even in the earliest writings, when Balrogs were much, much weaker and more numerous than they are in the conceptions you probably identify with them (as in, what Gandalf fights), Balrogs are stated outright to be more powerful than dragons.

Did Gandalf meet his match in the Witch king?
When Gandalf and Denethor discuss the matter, Denethor suggests that Gandalf has met his match in the Witch King or is perhaps outmatched, and Gandalf replies that it may be so.
