Well the fact is that one can break Gravios underbelly because he has a SHARP weapon, like a sword or lance or something. Tigrex has pure strenght but I'm not convinced its claw could tear apart Gravios' weakest point ... it would do some damage, but at the end Tigrex should lose the sharpness of its claws (or even its teeth) while a hunter can sharpen its weapon quite easily. So Tigrex should hurt himself more than hurting Gravios ...

Anyway its hard to imagine how a powerful (to hunters) but without any special "material" (like pure rock or even iron) monster could kill a hard-shelled monster even if they are clever. I just can't imagine a Deviljho killing an Uragaan because Ura's weakest points are on its underbody, so Jho would have chop a foot to make Ura fall then it would have to find the perfect weak point to do massive damage with its huge jaw. It's somewhat possible but I don't think top predators are that intelligent ...

Another possible scenario would be that Deviljho's dragon breath would hurt or even melt Uragaan's body (or another big hard shelled monster) so that it can deal more and more damage. And of course, (Black) Tigrex doesn't have any elemental breath ...
