While I agree that Kun is more powerful than either Zabrak, I question whether either Kun or Uliq is a more skilled duelist than Maul, who is regularly and consistently touted as one of the most skilled warriors in Sith history and a high end master of multiple forms, or at least to the extent to challenge Sidious.
Without the Force, Q is right, this is a much harder contest given that Kun is considerably more powerful (if not more skilled) than the Jedi Sidious blitzed and faced.

Do they need to be more skilled than Maul? There is two of them after all, and with their power they'd represent a bigger threat than Maul did, surely.
I don't believe Uliq is as powerful as Maul or Kun. Either way, though, none of them can draw on the Force offensively here so it's a moot point.
I think this is a fairly close contest: Kun is powerful enough in the Force that Sidious can't blitz him and perhaps Uliq is too. But Sidious is unquestionably the greater fighter imho.
I'm inclined to say the team takes it but Uliq dies in the attempt.
Uliq might not be as powerful as Kun would eventually become, but he was his equal with a lightsaber when they fought. And he has some beastly feats like powering through Ommin's sorcery and deflected cannon-fire. And power in the Force does effect your lightsaber ability, remember. So I'm not bring it up with regards to their offensive powers, but in how it'll effect their dueling capabilities.
I definitely think he's powerful enough to be on Maul's level at least in terms of saber ability. I mean, Obi-Wan was and Ulic is likely much more powerful than him. I think you're underestimating Ulic, he was the second most powerful person of the era (barring Vitiate from the equation duh). Maul was like, tenth?

Nah, I think (as usual), you're underestimating Maul, who has Uliq by the balls with respect to both feats and accolades. I'm sure Uliq is a comparable swordsman to Maul, but I'd still give Maul the edge overall.
