 Lasiodora parahybana, the Brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula, also simply known as the salmon pink or LP, is a tarantula from north-eastern Brazil and considered to be the fourth largest tarantula in the world. vs  The least weasel, little weasel, common weasel, or simply weasel is the smallest member of the genus Mustela, family Mustelidae and order Carnivora. It is native to Eurasia, North America and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand, Malta, Crete, the Azores, and São Tomé. Attachments:

I heavily favour the least weasel quite easily. I think it would just pluck it's legs off and eat them one by one, wouldn't even feel it urgent to kill the spider. I'd think it poses no threat really at all.

actually maybe this one is too small…
It’s body length is an inch shorter than that of the Goliath birdeater.

Goliath makes no difference. Least weasels can kill rabbits. I don't know what people think spiders are made of. |

And tarantulas have killed snakes, lizards, mice and etc which can actually fight back. |

Fair. It will be inhaling quite hard while it wheezes doubled over laughing at the idea a tarantula could do anything to it. This could be hazardous.

Weasels can kinda fight back at a different level.

I am not sure which would win. The tarantula has venomous fangs, urticating hairs, and legs to grapple but the weasel is more agile and durable. I think the weasel would kill the tarantula first but later die from either the hairs or venom from receiving a bite.

The weasel would assail the tarantula which would in turn rear up. The weasel will circle it and rip off its legs. Tarantulas are surprisingly shit combatants, they look so cool with so much potential but they disappoint in insect fights.
Tarantulas are ambush predators, they strike suddenly and hook their fangs into their target. If the weasel was high on drugs and was lacking a tarantula could indeed pop out, hook it and envenomate it. The weasel wouldn't be able to do a lot about that unless it squirmed free and ran over the tarantula snapping wildly. Face to face with a sober weasel the tarantula is on the backfoot and losing. The hairs might be a bit annoying, but I see this as similar to mongoose vs cobra.

Many tarantula species eject bristles from their abdomens, directing them toward potential attackers. These bristles can embed themselves in the other animal's skin or eyes, causing physical irritation, usually to great discomfort. The term urticating hairs is a misnomer, as technically only mammals possess true hairs. The tarantula has to be wary of the human and they have to be inhaled. Which is unlikely to happen. |
