I think you're really not taking into account Orion's own speed, which is considerable even without his semblance. If Liath want's too he could unleash a barrage at Orion and Ulric and Orion could most likely get out of the way with both his semblance and knowing his partner. Ulric however as you have stated is not a fast hunter, ergo he'd have less of a chance of getting away.

Once again though, I really do feel the need to mention that it might not even come down to Liath and Ulric, considering Orion is and always will be a CQC specialist. You yourself along with several others have stated the fight would be even or tipped slightly in the favor of one of the combatants and that was before I said anything about Orion's combat prowess, (two finished and won combat RP's as well as multiple other PvP experiences none of which he fell flat in) If anything this shows how competent and resourceful he is in a fight.

I feel obliged to mention that you've banged on about the badass who trained your OC and all that. Here's something you probably didn't read about Orion, he's been 'trained' by his father since he was a wee lad. Orion was beaten nearly senseless almost everyday from a young age, but everytime he got better at taking it, and standing back up again. This had another effect, Orion's semblance and aura, unlocked at a early age, and he learnt from every beating, taking it in and becoming better from it. This means Orion has been fighting against PEOPLE from a very young age, and has only continued to do so his entirely life. The beatings combined with his early unlocking of aura+semblance mean that Orion is an incredibly durable OC much more durable that Ulric who you have stated has a low Aura. Orion is also faster than Ulric at a base level, and can more than contend with his attacks due to the freakish nature of the sparing his does every DAY. If it comes down to a CQC faceoff between the two, I feel like you haven't been giving Orion nearly as much credit as he deserves.

Not forgetting Virdis v Orion if that happens it basically comes down to, can he get to him without getting super hampered by Virdis' attacks, not much else to say there.

However something I believe is a viable strat is that Liath has the capability to overpower Virdis with the sheer number of attacks he can throw out, meaning that in a fight between those two I have no trouble tipping Liath. If that happens and Liath wins while Orion and Ulric are still scrabblingit means that They're free to play the kiting game with Ulric, attacking him on two front's from a range he can't contend with, with Orion nipping at his heels the entire time.

THis is by no means airtight it's early and I'm still tired a/f but I think I've brought forward a lot of good keypoints for the fight, which I really think has started to overlook Orion as a character.
