That plays right into Rousey's hands, she would have a good chance.
A brawler type fighter would be harder for Rousey to handle.

Yeah, and I'm not one of those "girl power, Rousey is the greatest fighter in the world, woohoo" morons. 99.99% of the time, you put the greatest female fighter in the world up against a good male fighter, and the woman is going to lose. Cyborg, Tate, Zingano, whatever, Floyd would blast them all
Rousey is the bizarre, weird exception because she does something very weird and novel (even within MMA, what she does is weird and novel because most fighters don't have the judo training to effectively use a hip toss in a clinch) that you can't really defend against even with the inherent male speed and size advantage unless you have at least some training on how to counter what Ronda is going to do. I don't think Ronda could beat any man in the UFC, even the flyweights because they all train grappling (well if its best out of 10, maybe she wins once or twice, I don't know).
