Who would win in a MMA fight Robot(synthetic-plastic human skeleton) vs human(Martial artist)?

Sorry this question is bogus. But It would be cool to see a human tear up a robot designed for human hand to hand combat. I imagine a judo practitioner could throw the robot and tear of it's limb.Maybe even a master of striking combat(Karate,Taekwondo,Mu Thai, and etc) Keep in mind the robot in this scenario is designed very close to human anatomy. I know the robot has a higher chance to win due to it's structure and lack of nerves. I'm just curious how a Human could do well against a sport competition against AI(Artificial Intelligence). I imagine the robot maneuvers to be telegraphed and predictable. Also a Human can be more creative. Any comments or criticism appreciated thank you for your time. This question is inspired by hearing talk about those fighting robots in Korea doing Taekwondo competitions.

Update:

Yes by all means some of you guys are right. Steel is unforgiving. The point I'm trying to make don't count humans out. Samaria used Jujitsu to beat armored opponents.Of course Im limiting it to a synthetic plastic that matches our own skeletal anatomy. AI might calculate faster but their not creative enough to imagine outside their program. I'm talking about a fake technique that will trap the robot into a technique of some sort(strike,submission,or escape). AI has to have limits in which it can't problem solve efficiently.

    i would bet on the human the robot may be programmed to have knowledge of the techniques but precise measurement of hydrolics gyroscopes for balance and issues with the camera eyes lead me to believe that such a thing is just not realistic in our lifetime

    perhaps in the next generation's lifetime then the question begins why are they designing robots specifically to fight humans? that sounds like the plot of a bad science fiction movie

    alright enough with this what is the most complex thing we as a species have ever encountered? the answer is the human brain it has more memory capacity than any computer ever built it has processor speeds that would surprise you and the automatic functions are near constantly being utilized while the computer is faster at complex mathematical operations that we can not match the brain is capable of operating the body carefully monitoring thousands of constantly moving parts correcting for error and adapting to hundreds of thousands of unknown variables

    if you burn your hand do you think to move your hand back away from the fire? no that is done automatically do you think through every portion of taking a step moving every individual muscle monitoring the balance system constantly no all you think is I better go over there and the brain does it for you the computer would have to do all that itself

    I still vote for the human either millions of years of evolution or gods perfect design beats some toy

    I don't see a human winning a fight with AI. They would be programmed with all styles and know the best counter for the situation. A human might be able to improvise on the go but steel in robots is unforgiving.

    processing speeds are incredible for technology, if you could not only build an operating robot but also adapt it to MMA competition. Human being doesn't stand a chance. Something that can run through millions of calculations in a second versus humans with a few maybe.

    I have been in Martial Arts for over 30 years teaching for twenty. I find your question interesting. I have a friend who was in speacial forces in the Army, another was a Seal. I have two students who have done great in MMA matches. One of them beat a certain formal world champions son twice, the other won a big match in Vegas a few month back. I won't tell you any names here cause I don't have permission and I am just trying to help you with you question (for the fun of it), The Seal guy in his time in the Seals knew how many seconds it would take to put his arm around your neck and head and kill you. To get into the seals he had to run a 5 minute mile and then swim 300 yards, (that was the test to enter training). My MMA student trained in Karate for 10 years and was a top high school wrestler. The other guy Karate 10 years the BBJ. The seals full time job is to kill. The MMA's fighters fight for sport. The seal would rather be stealth and sneak up behind you and break your neck. I would say the Seal in his prime. You have a lot of Vets ( God bless them), who have been out for years and done nothing to stay in shape, they would get their butt handed to them in 30 seconds going against a well trainned MMA fighter. So I would just say the seal in his prime! Then again a snot nose kid who just thinks he knows MMA from watching it on TV would get his butt handed to him by one of my 10 year old girl karate gold belts.

    In a sports competition id say a robot most of the time...it has the rules built into it perfectly and knows how to use them to its advantage, the more fights it has the more unstoppable it'll probably be...a real fight though would be different.
