Sauropod / Theropod interactions: behemoth battles possible?

I was thinking about how the Amargasaurus specifically doesn't like Indominus rex, and looking at JWE1 and how it was the only dinosaur that could harm the sauropods, along with the news that Tyrannosaurus can try to hunt the Brachiosaurus, and I think that there may be many more specific dislikes between different sauropods and theropods, and along with that some actual combat between them. Perhaps the dislike system means the dinosaur of a specific group that poses a deadly threat to it, as while it's only about 30-33 feet long the Amargasaurus has the neck spines and a powerful tail that would dissuade other theropods from anything more than a passing attempt, but the Indominus rex has the ferocity and stubbornness to weather the counterattacks and deal damage to the Amargasaurus. As for other relations:

Apatosaurus / Diplodocus / Camarasaurus dislikes Allosaurus, which we know did hunt them

Dreadnoughtus dislikes Giganotosaurus, as Giga likely preyed on its cousin Argentinosaurus so it knows how to deal with gigantic prey

And we might see them threaten and try to intimidate each other (we have seen Amargasaurus make a threat display) and also actual combat with tail whips, neck slams, and attempts to rear up and stomp on the theropods, with the theropods trying to dodge and weave and go in for slashing bites to the body and legs, leaving bleeding wounds that drop the sauropod's health similar to Troodon's poison. Yet another way to make housing and mixing the dinosaurs require some thought, since they're now not just invincible to everything except Indominus.

Though thinking about the T. rex and Brachiosaurus, that really doesn't make sense, because rex's jaws and teeth were not designed for dealing with animals that have broad bodies and dense flesh but for piercing armor and breaking bones.
 
Even if a carnivore hunting sauropod isnt in the next game i think lots of little interactions would be cool like a t.rex trying to get the drop on a brachiosaurus but gets fended off or even hurt by the brachio

It's worth considering that these 2 theropods could only reasonably take on healthy adults in groups. They're far too large for an individual Allosaurus or Giganotosaurus to hunt on its own. Tyrannosaurus (and very likely Giganotosaurus) is probably going to be oversized to have it hunt Brachiosaurus, as was mentioned earlier.
 
Vale la pena considerare che questi 2 teropodi potrebbero solo ragionevolmente assumere adulti sani in gruppi. Sono troppo grandi perché un singolo Allosaurus o Giganotosaurus possa cacciare da solo. Il tirannosauro (e molto probabilmente il Giganotosauro) sarà probabilmente sovradimensionato per cacciare il Brachiosauro, come accennato in precedenza.
Dont alone... In duo or trio yes
