Firstly, there is no proof that Kun or Ulic are at the level of Mace or Depa.Secondly, there is no proof that Kun would be more of a threat than Ulic in saber combat. Ulic has done far more impressive things in that field.
Except for the fact that Ulic stalemated Kun while Kun had not yet developed his new technique+saber. Except for the fact that Kun was leagues beyond everybody(with the exception of Ulic) in saber combat. There's nothing to suggest Mace could hold his own against Kun. Perhaps Ulic but not Kun.
Once again, this is a lightsaber duel only. You'd be surprised at the amount of people who can contend with some of the "greats" in just sheer lightsaber combat.
In a regular fight to the death, I'd give Exar and Ulic the victory, if only due to their superior Force powers. However, since this is just a lightsaber match, yes, I believe that Mace and Depa stand an excellent chance.
We know that Mace is a lightsaber prodigy of the highest order. He is on par with Yoda, Dooku, and Sidious. He created his own lightsaber form, which was heralded as the most dangerous to master, which he did, thus proving that he has the skill to match his power. He isn't too far behind Yoda himself, and managed to defeat Palpatine in a single combat lightsaber duel.
Kun shares similarities... he invented his own, lethal lightsaber form, and possesses heralded prodigious strength in that area of combat as well.
I would say that Mace has an excellent chance of defeating Kun, given his own skill and experience (which I would argue rivals Kun's own). He also possesses an inherit lightsaber form honed specifically against Dark Side users, which would also give him an edge. To top it off, he does have the Shatterpoint ability.
Then again, Mace cannot even hope to match Kun's strength... despite his overblown Clone Wars feats. Nor, do I think, can he hope to match Kun's speed and agility. Furthermore, the Shatterpoint ability is not instant - nor is it to say that it would automatically give him a victory...
So... toughie. 😖
Match Kun's strength? Mace was able to contend in a sheer battle with strength. And for once this 'Exar created his own style' stuff doesn't work because Mace did likewise.
Kun has several feats of raw, physical power, and so does Mace. Kun's own darkness would be thrown back in his face, along with Mace's Shatterpoint ability?
I'd give this to Mace. He's on Kun's level

Mm-hmm. But, once again, in just a sheer lightsaber match, it is highly unlikely that Kun is simply going to decimate Mace. Considering how Yoda could contend - and possibly defeat - Kun in a fight to the death, I believe that Mace has similar odds, considering how the gap between he and Yoda is not that much.
Mace possesses his own advantages that are unavaiable to Kun. Enough that it would possibly be a very good fight.

Gee, if he is on Kun's level, why would you give it to Mace? Mace isn't on Kun's level, sorry lightsnake. Yoda is on Kun's level. Mace has his form and shatterpoint but he does not have the speed, agility, nor power to keep up with Kun.
