He dies from extreme fatigue after his battle w/ Maul (although he decapitates the ears, nose, and shins of Darth Maul during combat). He is just too damn old, and on his last legs.

How are we supposed to know ESB Yoda's fighting skills when he never fought in that movie?

Well, we never see him fight, but we do see him using the force. He's still good enough to sense Luke's feelings, sense Luke's activities in 'The-Dark-Side-Tree-Cave' thing, and he still displays some decent telekinetic feat, when lifting Luke's X-Wing out of the swamp.
I think that a lot of people (including me) have this conception that ESB Yoda is somehow much weaker than his PT self because he looks funny and all. This is because they used puppets (I think) and not computer animation.
For all we know, he may very well clear it (although this is highly doubtful).

Fair enough. If you say he won't be able to take Ki-Adi-Mundi afterwards, then what if I added in Plo Koon, then Sora Bulq, before he gets to Mundi? Could he get passed those 2 do you think?
Lol!!! Read above. Yoda dies after defeating Darth Maul due to exhaustion from old age. It's kind of like someone's 114 year old grandpa running the Boston marathon, balls to the wall, and winning it, but then dying afterwards from the immense stress that it took on his old body. Yoda be a bad little mutha fu*#a, but just too old to continue. We're talking almost 900 years at this point.
