Single Balrogs can be defeated by determined foes (Ecthelion defeated Gothmog, and then there was Glorfindel and Gandalf). I think in single combat Ancalagon would beat Gothmog. After all, Earendil did not defeat Anacalagon singlehandedly, as he had the great eagles aiding him (I'm still trying to figure out how one stabs a winged dragon from the prow of a flying ship).
In any case, the point is moot because these two would never have come into conflict in a Tolkien-told tale.
