Either way or Grievous.

Maul. Grievous was tooled by Kit Fisto and Obi Wan, and suggested to be inferior to Cin Drallig.

He is vastly superior skill wise to Grievous who was unable to keep up with Kenobi for long. Maul always had Kenobi's number skill wise with sabers. This isn't hard to figure out.

Kenobi and Fisto both had to rely on their force powers to get the upper-hand on Grievous.

Grievous stonewalled Mace Windu whilst hindered and Obi Wan's form was stated to be perfectly suited to fighting Grievous. Obi Wan himself also pressured Dooku to the point he dare not attack. Fisto's form is also well suited for combating Grievous given its purpose in fighting multiple opponents and this was Grievous early on in the war. Maul only ever managed to get the better of Kenobi in sabers when he had unbalanced him and that was before Kenobi's prime. Not seeing the skill disparity.

Grievous fought Windu for a single exchange of blows. Their duel was very brief

We don't know how long their exchange lasted actually though even if it was only a brief clash Mace's inability to make any headway whatsoever against an immobile Grievous is telling.

It literally lasted as long as it took Fisto to make eight strikes.

Where'd you get that idea from?

That single exchange between Windu and Grievous lasted as long as it took Fisto to take out two magnaguards, and he was cutting a limb off with every strike, so...

Can you explain to me why you believe it only lasted as long as it took for Kit Fisto to take down the magnaguards?

Because the two fights begin at the same time and right after Fisto kills them Mace BFRs Grievous.

"To the rear of the car, where Grievous's pair of MagnaGuards had made the mistake of pitting themselves against Kit Fisto, the Nautolan's blade was a cyclone of blazing blue light. Resistant to the energy outpourings of a lightsaber, the phrik alloy staffs were potent weapons, but like any any weapon they needed to find their target, and Kit simply wasn't allowing that. In moves a Twi'lek dancer might envy, he spun around the guards, claiming a limb from both with each rotation."

Nowhere does it mention Fisto claiming a limb with a single strike. Aside from that it mentions that the magnaguards and Fisto were further to the rear of the car and as we can see in the passage where Mace and Grievous engage Grievous only ignites his blade from the position he's standing in before his engagement with Mace begins. The magnaguards likely move forward to engage Fisto.

Grevious.

I'm assuming that "with each rotation" means with each strike, given that his moves were being compared to a dancer's.
