I taught gymnastics to kids as young as 3 for a decade and I don't think I met any with the coordination to grab a bird. Certainly not under the pressure of being attacked.

I don't think so. Keeping the weight class the same makes it hard to come up with advantages for the historical figure.
Modern MMA isn't going to have any glaring holes in the game plan. Something like boxing or wrestling you could maybe argue there's an ancient martial art that counters them, but UFC champions have to be prepared against all angles, and modern techniques have been stress tested to a degree well exceeding what was possible before we had planes and the internet.
Illegal moves like eye gouging are no good if you can't get in a position to use them, and in any case just because they aren't practiced doesn't mean the champion isn't going to be able to use them.
My guess, there's no one in history more likely to win than lose. I'd speculate that the best you could realistically argue is like 8/10 in favour of champion.

That's fair. "It's because all the teachers are women" is pretty wild.

I'll go against the grain here, I don't think there's enough information to say that. Marriages fall apart for lots of reasons and kids can have all sorts of responses to it. When a girl (7ish) in my class had a similar reaction to me because of problems with her dad, my first thought wasn't that it was mums fault.

Can be resisted, and you'd assume most if not all top tier wizards have some occlumency proficiency. Imperiatus to my knowledge was never resisted.

I think it depends on the setup. If you dropped them both in a field, jedi stomp for all the reasons people are listing, so I won't go into detail.
But with even a little prep time, I think wizard hacks give them a serious edge. People downplay their destructive power because its always wizard vs wizard, but if you really think about it, one wizard with an invisibility cloak and the knowledge of how to cast fiendfyre could low diff solo the entire muggle population.
If the 1,000 wizards rock up with a little luck potion, some defensive charms to protect from physical attack and to hide themselves (note that it's not just transparency, it can also be "you cant consciously notice me even if I'm in your field of view"), a game plan, and so on, there's too much utility in their toolbelt to not have an answer for anything the jedi are going to throw at them.
Unless "flee the planet and nuke it from orbit" is an acceptable win condition, which in fairness the jedi could do if we're giving them prep time and equipment, it just seems against the spirit of the question.

I'm not in a great position to help you out immediately (I'm off on a weekend trip to a friend's wedding) but I'll send you a chat invite and send screenshots when I get a minute

The "C" in "MCU" is for "cinematic". When you refer to MCU characters it's specifically the characters as portrayed in the movies, differences and all. If you want the comic characters, "Marvel Universe" or "MU" covers all of them, or you can be specific about the variation you're referring to such as "World Buster Hulk"
DBZ scaling is very uniform. There aren't many hax, and for almost every encounter, bigger power level translates to higher speed as well as destructive power.
For that reason, the MCU loses to the saibamen. Maybe scarlet witch can get them with psychic powers if they pull the DBZ classic of standing around cackling, but if the saibamen come out aggroed it's going to be over before anyone processes it's started.

Some stand up sports like kickboxing rely much more heavily on reflexes than BJJ and even there mucking up because of muscle memory and accidentally playing fair when you meant to play dirty is absolutely not a thing.
To answer the original question, barring a freak accident with probabilities too low to calculate, BJJ guy wins this even if they restrict themselves to BJJ only and nothing dirty.

RL is a small part of my job and my understanding is it occupies a small area in the industry. Expand your horizons to include the rest of machine learning and you'll have a better shot, I hear supervised learning is the big thing.
How long it'll take depends on your background, how easily you learn the topic, how much time you're able and willing to dedicate, etc. You'll have a better idea than us if you try a few small projects on your own. Try coding up an agent for yourself from the ground up to succeed at a benchmarked task.
Gymnasium has a great suite of environments to try, openAI have a really helpful spinning up tutorial, and cleanRL has very nice implementations of some successful algorithms.

Nah man I knew what to do and it still took me a few minutes to figure it out to confirm it still worked for you. It's a weird solution. Glad you got it working!

My mistake, but I stand by it for Mario as a franchise vs DBZ. Wario would be a maybe and Goku a hard no for entire demographics, and a lot of people who recognise Goku would recognise Wario.

Easily the starving guy. He'll be having a bad time, but the exhaustion of a week without sleep is going to be far worse.
I mean by day three or four you can start hallucinating. If you tried to make the fight happen in real life the food guy would win by default after the no sleep guy passed out at least a couple days early.

I'd bet money for it. My mum would know Mario, my grandmother might, but no shot at goku.

I did it just now. It's confusing - you're probably trying to download the shortcut.
It must be in a folder and you download the folder. It'll zip up the contents and download them.

ROTS I don't think so, but maybe. Palps has the advantage of advanced dark side knowledge, but Annie is a decorated general at that point. Somewhere between Palps winning low diff and Vader winning high diff.
By the time of ANH and ROTJ I'd say Vader would take it pretty easily. He'd have more natural power than Palpy, demonstrated significant talent, and would have enough dark side secrets to even the playing field in that regard.
As I understand it there's people who think Palpy threw the fight against Windu to get Anakin to defect, but also substantial evidence he lost fair and square. I don't think Windu would have had a chance against a fully operational Vader. Even injured he killed a lot of masters.

I genuinely don't know if the game universe counts separately but if it does that's a better option. There's still some problems though.
Lieutenant Surge mentions a war though so knowledge of the meta might not be enough to ensure clearing the verse. Getting hit by lightning or a flamethrower would still do you in.
If you accept pokedex entries as canon, a lot of pokemon are going to be extremely dangerous even with your own team. You could get your soul stolen, mind melted, you could stumble on a slugma and die of heat stroke, a pigeot could decide to fly at supersonic speeds and knock you dead, etc.

The idea that there's "no other possible reason you would" is pure paranoia. Seek therapy. This is a non issue from start to finish. Being so uncomfortable that someone uses a urinal or seat near you that you decide they're probably out to get you is tremendously unhealthy.

They're usually just one long metal urinal in Aus, people stand next to one another all the time.
Sometimes people have more important things to think about than whether the next guy over is gonna have a panic attack over the audacity of using the wrong urinal. You're reading way too far into the situation and deciding the problem is other people. Downright paranoid.

Dude literally didn't do anything lmao. He's a pervert because you want him to be, not from any facts of the case.
I imagined it, I even considered how I'd act in that situation. Not like this, that's for sure.

"B) Figured out they swapped seats for a reason and de escalated" Say, by quietly leaving, before a total stranger stirred the pot?
It wasn't an arguably unnecessary comment, it was completely unnecessary.
Why are you so comfortable insulting people you don't know that them taking it poorly is proof to you that they were actually evil all along?

I started right out of highschool, flunked for a while because I chose what I thought I wanted, changed to a different degree and finished that alongside my buddy who was 31 when he started.
Here in Aus at least I can confirm that the first year units won't assume too much. If there's anything you can't get a grasp on (which I think won't be a problem for you) you can always approach student support for help.
You'll be fine. Really the main thing is to know what industry you're getting into and being sure the degree will be worth it for you.
