Polar Bear vs Wild Yak
I would not wager on this fight. Wild yaks look beautiful! As beautiful if not more beautiful than bison....I wonder if it CAN beat a bison though..

Wild yaks are just as fierce and combative as bison so they would definitely stand a chance. My opinion is that a wild yak would defeat an european and plains bison as yaks are decently heavier. The wood bison on the other may prevail against the yak due to its broader skull.

They can be extremely aggressive and their horns are well suited as weapons. Wild yaks are quite heavier . Weight eatimates put the wild yak as being around 940 kg, perhaps even more. On the other hand, Gaurs wouldn't exceed 900 kg on average.

Weight of the wild yak : https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fmspecies%2Farticle%2Fdoi%2F10.1644%2F836.1%2F2600878 https%3A%2%2Fpress.princeton.edu%2Fbooks%2Fpaperback%2F9780691167176%2Fbovids-of-the-world Weight estimates for the wild yak are 800 kg ,1 ton , 1.2 tons and 767 kg so overall, if we combine these four figures we get around 940 kg for bos mutus. At such weight, the yak would be on par with the wood bison and decently heavier than the indian gaur.

Bengal Tiger vs Grizzly BearI made a little calculation on the general average weight of the grizzly bear as a species and this resulted in an average weight of ~455.7lbs (~206.7kg, 5 years+, n=486) for the male grizzly bear based on 18 populations (3 coastal populations and 15 interior populations). Looking at Guate Gojira's table from Wildfact this is more or less equal to the average weight of male Bengal tigers and this comparison would therefore roughly represent a brown bear vs tiger matchup at weight parity. However, when we calculate the average weight of a full-grown male grizzly (using no bears under 9 years old) then we see that the grizzly has a substantial weight advantage.

Comparison between an Asiatic lion and a sloth bear (frontal views); both specimens were scaled to their average shoulder heights accordingly; tell me what you think! Someday these two are very likely to meet in India.

Revised version of African Buffalo vs Polar Bear
The polar bear is strong enough to kill a buffalo; but would he have any experience with ungulates?

Revised version of Alaskan Brown Bear (Kodiak Bear) vs Polar Bear
I would wager on the Kodiak; but it's really (IMO) a 50/50.

Bengal Tiger vs Polar Bear (Sow)
IF tigers has migrated up into the far North and IF tigers could survive there, the average adult female polar bear (5 years+) - 485 pounds. That is well above the size of bears that a tiger will hunt. He might go after an occasional polar bear cub, but that's all.

Belgian Blue vs Polar Bear
These are huge domesticated bulls. But, a big bear (IMO) would have little trouble in killing one.

Polar Bear (average male) vs Smilodon Populator (large specimen)I can't precisely tell you the average shoulder height of Smilodon Populator as there only is one default information on it (120cm tall); comparing it with the polar bear, we are most likely talking about an animal weighing ~750-800lbs which is a rather large specimen for Smilodon Populator. Polar bear vs the notorious saber-toothed cat.

Gaur (Bull) vs Polar Bear
The problem I have with a polar bear vs large bovine is the bear's lack of experience.
