And for the heck of it, Danis and Tonon in straight grappling? ADCC rules....
Kron vs Burns, Dariush, Shinya in MMA, who wins?

Burns and Dariush KO him. Aoki would be interesting.

I think Kron has Aoki. Aoki has solid technique but Kron’s physicality might be too much.
What about ADCC rules against Gary Tonon or Danis at this point?

Honestly I'd go about 50/50 either way. I doubt Kron's comp BJJ ability has dropped off too significantly. Tonon has clearly gotten much better since Kron beat him in 2013, and I think Danis is grossly underrated, especially nogi. Arguably gave Gordon his hardest match at ADCC outside of Pena.

Since Kron left competitive grappling for MMA, I think the new breed of grapplers, in particular, the lower body submission specialists might give Kron a rough time. Even though no-gi forces the action which benefits Kron since he’s a hunter, the modern leg lock game is so nuanced that even someone as phenomenal as Gracie can fall to a crazy heel hook or kneebar with all the intricate set-ups you see today.
Back when Kron was an active grappler, his singular focus kept him at the top of the sport. His outstanding fundamentals will allow him to beat almost anyone, but modern leg lock systems are something you have to stay on top of.
* But I got Kron over Danis simply because of Jake's outing.
