Oh please. When Ulic gets in close, he'd slaughter Kyp Durron. The man has more lightsaber skill in his wang than Kyp could ever possess.Not that it matters, because Kun is still a more powerful combatant than any known incarnation of Luke "zOMG, teh furce!" Skywalker.
Based on what exactly? The ulic part that is.
His fight against Exar? Who couldn't have beaten Vodo at that time? His fight against Mandalore? That was impressive but still a non force user and you so like to call non force users sucky as hell (Yuuzhan Vong) or his fight against Sylvar? where he blocked and ran and was forced onto the edge of a cliff. Something he warned Vima of not much earlier and just decided to not fight anymore....
Yeah he's a sabergod...

He didn't lose yet he was losing but he didn't really lose yet, he did manage to hold on for some time.
Firstly, no that isn't really logical to assume that Kyp is better then Ulic just because you've heaqrd that he's close to Luke and Luke is better then Ulic. It might make it seem more likely, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Kyp is better then Ulic.
The main thing is that Kyp is not nearly as good as Luke in lightsaber combat. In force powers, Kyp could give Luke a hard time, but lightsaber fighting is not where Kyp is great. Kyp has bever shown himself to be great with a lightsaber. He lost to 4 Slayers, where Luke took out 7 of them.

And how would one of these slayers compare to an average Jedi Knight? Or another good lightsaber wielding knight?
I don't know for sure. We didn't see them fight Jedi much, but they were the best of the best Yuuzhan Vong. Their armor took repeated strikes from a lightsaber to cut through. They also had much better weapons then other Yuuzhan Vong. Like I said though, they were the best of the best. Out of, say a hundred billion Vong they were in the top twenty.

So they were great fighters, and how would an average Yuuzhan vong compare to a normal or even great Jedi?
It really depends on who the Vong was. They were as a species on average far better fighters then Humans. Some Yuuzhan Vong were able to beat Noghiri. 2 or 3 Noghiri were able to kill over a dozen storm troopers using only knifes. The Yuuzhan Vong placed fighting ability very high and were trained to fight pretty much from birth. Against, say, Maul, I think a Slayer would win. The way that Jedi predicted attacks from Yuuzhan Vong was by sensing the air movements around them since they couldn't since the actual Vong. I believe that this was described as being much more difficult then just sensing a regular person. It gave the Vong a large advantage against Jedi.
