Rousey is also a very big woman for that division. Some of the female bantamweights don't cut much weight, but she does.
I think what needs to be understood is that the pro-rousey argument, aside from emphasizing that 135 lb is not big, is also presuming that this won't be a boxing match and that it will almost definitely go to the ground. Down there, her expertise in grappling and how the body and joints work would be a strong advantage against lesser-skilled unranked or low-ranked small men.
If it were a boxing match, I think Rousey beats almost no one in the division.
