Striking-wise Carano would have an edge on paper, being a Muay Thai kickboxer in the past and having stand up as her bread and butter. But Rousey has improved her boxing vastly and her knees to the body have become a very strong tool.
On the ground it is a big edge to Rousey, who is able to toss and tap every one of her opponents, save Sara McMann, who was TKO'd via a knee in just over a minute.
This fight would be tough one for Gina in any circumstance, but coming off a layoff makes it all the more difficult. Carano can outpoint Rousey on the feet, but will have a hard time finishing her in that realm of the game. Which means ultimately Rousey will likely get a judo throw and transition into her strong suit - the armbar, and get the W from there.
