Look, even if I don't get approval from the other voters, I just want to point this out in that while the MGR treats Armstrong as something close to an unkillable boss (and to an extent the people in this matchup), I feel can't help but feel that this means that people tend to treat his nanomachines as being indestructible to the point of it being NLF. But in order for me to explain, let me just talk on the Armstrong boss fight a bit.
Raiden was only win thanks to the speed amp he got from ripper mode as well as the murasama. That doesn't necassarily mean that Armstrong was impossible to defeat without it, it just simply meant that Armstrong was just too physically strong for Raiden to harm him once those nanomachines were hardened. If Raiden was at a level comparabe to that of Armstrong, he would have been able to rip out Armstrong's heart without needing the Murasama "cut open" a path to it. It wasn't as if Armstrong was invulnerable until he got stabbed by the Murasama, he was simply too durable for Raiden to damage through traditional means until he got a new HF blade, which was much more sturdier and of better quality than his old standard HF blade and possed the hax neccassary to weaken Armstrong's nano machines.
Now take that in contrast to the Hulk. Sure, he doesn't exactly have cutting power, but he does have the Anger power necassary to reach a greater level of AP than Armstrong's nano machines can endure. And while Armstrong does have regen, it doesn't necassarily mean invincibility from harm. He can still be harmed. And given that he has a VERY prominent weakness in the form of his heart controlling his nanomachines, the regen isn't going to stop his heart from being hurt in the first place, considering its shown to be the weakest point in his entire body.
In MGR, he is the god tier in terms of AP and had the durability to render his weakness a relatively moot point. In this matchup, this weakness comes front and center against somone who can not only match his strength, but even possibly surpass it and his nanomachine hardened body. Once the heart is compromised, his nanomachines, his regen, his hardening powers and even his life come to an abrupt end, so all the Hulk needs is to be angry enough to give a strong one punch (man) to fell the senator.
