Raiden can take most combatants down in a fight when he is serious which is why when he fought sonya in mk9 story mode and lost he simply let her win.

Only people that could beat him in a fight are those of equal power for the most part such as shao kahn, fujin, shinnok. Although Liu Kang being probably the only exception as he was able to defeat shao kahn.
