The thing is we don't know the exact perameters of the Rexy/Indominus fight, so no one can just assume that one will win over the other. Yes. Indominus may have size, aggression and intelligence on her side, but that won't necessarily assure her the win.

1 - We already know that Rexy is capable of being an ambush hunter - just look at how she took out The Big One and her subordinate in the first film. Being able to stage an ambush attack on Indominus could mean all the difference.

2 - We already know that the Tyrannosaurs of the JP franchise are very aggressive and will attack things they percieve as a threat with everything they have, be that threat a set of trailer vehicles or a larger theropod. We also know that they will persue threats beyond their home range in order to eliminate it.

3 - There is the Battlefield to consider - we don't know exactly where the fight will take place but the Battlefield could easily go against the larger animal - is it somewhere that the smaller Rexy can move around with more freedom than the larger Indominus? Does it happen in a forest or a built up area with pathways and openings that Rexy can pass through while Indominus gets stuck? Is there a loose area of ground that cannot support Indominus' greater weight?

4 - We don't know much about Indominus. We know she killed and ate her sibling, but was there anything there that went in Indominus' favour? Was her sibling a sub-adult? Was it a runt? Was it sickly? We don't know. We do know that Indominus will attack herbivores larger than itself, but how will she react to another large, fully grown predator? Will her intelligence get to to back down? We know Rexy faces threats head-on but will Indominus? People on the ground she does not consider to be a threat, but a helicopter she flees from. With that same flight instinct take over when confronted by Rexy?

5 - Are both animals at 100% when going into the fight? Clearly there is a certain amount of pursuit given by the humans to Indominus after she escapes, is there a wound slowing her down by the time Rexy enters the scene? Some predators can sense weak points in the animals they attack, such as injuries. If there is a point that Rexy may go for when attacking Indominus, it'll be an existing injury.

6 - Are we absolutely, 100% certain that Rexy is the ONLY Tyrannosaurus rex living on Isla Nublar? I know she is the only one referred to so far, but at the same time I don't see much confirming that she is the only one. We saw how devastating two Tyrannosaurs could be in The Lost World. Imagine if Rexy had a friend!!!
