I think it depends on Sagat's personality during the fight. If he's still focused on revenge then they wont show that he's improved any and Urien will all but "...lubricate" on the Muay thai master.
If Sagat is back on the true path of the warrior, as prescribe in his Alpha series endings, he would be comparable to Ken (if not Ryu pre III) so should be a match for Gill's brother.
Could still go either way though.

With Sagat no more than 5 years older than Ryu, I was a bit disappointed when he didn't make it into the III series (let alone the vs series). However I don't think SF4 will quite be a continuation so much as perhaps a re-imagining (i could be wrong) Still I'm glad the kick boxer is back.

BTW, I used to be a real beast with SFEX2p's Sagat.
One thing I hate about the EX series is that Sagat will never have that final super move in a capcom game. I also wanted to see Allen Snider (EX+a) in a shotokan knock off match up.
