ROUND 1: FIGHT!
So Maul goes in with a lot of handicaps against him, and he is not able to get his stamina back...I don't think it matters because he won't break a sweat.*
DARK SITH 123 SAYS, "WE HAVE A FETT! PUNY MAUL!"

Canon Fett, Maul takes it. Legends Fett, Maul is dead.
Not even. I know the OP was changed to canon, but what you say is no where near the reality of Maul. Legends Maul killed Battle Masters, top Jedi duelists, Force combatants, etc. Maul takes this no matter what. I'm not sure if you read the his comic series where he takes out the Black Sun leadership, but he was a force to behold.
A FORCE TO BEHOLD YET LITTLE UNDERSTOOD

@dark-sith123: Sure, that is understandable in of itself. I merely question the term "spam". I wouldn't be surprised if he used the Force to push, choke, or restrain, but judging from Maul's style I sincerely doubt he'd "spam" Force attacks. He doesn't exactly fight like Starkiller from the video games.

@fetts:
He's surrounded by elite bounty hunters though. In Canon, we've seen Maul use the Force far more often than he did in Legends. In a desperate situation, Maul's definitely not beyond using the Force.
Maul is going to do what Maul has to do to win. This is not Legends Maul, a Sith apprentice who was not allowed to use the Force. This is thirty years of experience after the revelation of the Sith (okay, give or take a decade living in trash). Maul has shown us that he will use the Force if necessary, and personally, I'd love to see him Force blast all these guys away at once. He can read minds, has foresight, faster than the eye can see reflexes and speed, faster than blaster bolts, Force imbued strength (if needed because he's already very strong), collapse tracheae and hearts, etc. He's already proven that he can take out some of the best killers in the Galaxy simultaneously, and in order for these guys to win, they'd have to be a lot more than what they already are. No Plot Induced Stupidity, and Maul has no problem. Fett may be a master planner, but Maul is a master schemer and can plan on the fly. He is brilliant/highly intelligent and is not a novice when it comes to on the spot tactical planning and quickly adapting and evolving as he needs to.
There isn't anything that Fett or the others can do that he won't know is coming. They aren't trained or have the mental fortitude to block any telepathy that Maul could use against them or to block his ability to know something is going to happen before it does. He may not go into the fight as prepared as the bounty hunters, but he can make up for it with his strong Force abilities. He's been taking out multiple, highly skilled bounty hunters,including Mandos and Death Watch members, simultaneously since he was fifteen (yes, that's legends, but it is a legends story based on The Clone Wars tv show).
RESULT: One on one and Maul has this round in the bag.
ROUND 2: FIGHT!
"...the Syndicate actually won this fight in the book."
To my knowledge, we have no idea what happened. All we know is Ventress came out with Vos, and Dooku was in webbing. Was there a fight? Did Dooku purposely get captured? We know absolutely nothing about this.
"The idea of this battle is to see how "Old" Maul would fare in this same situation."
- TPM Maul was tiered with ROTS Tyranus by Lucas and Gillard.
- Per interviews, we know that Maul continued to get better throughout the Clone Wars
I don't know if he would employ the same tactic, but I can't see Maul performing less that Tyranus in this same situation.
RESULT: Maul would defeat the team in no less time.

* Dark Disciple is used in the OP. There is a quote from that novel that I think is great to use to show the strength and stamina of strong Dark Side users:
"...his blows were effortless, and he did not tire." (speaking of Vos)
