# Nora Cornolle

Nora Cornolle (born December 6, 1989) is a French professional mixed martial artist and Muay Thai fighter who competes in the women's Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As a Muay Thai fighter, she was the french national professional champion and she won a silver medal at the 2022 World Games. As of February 18, 2025, she is #13 in the UFC women's bantamweight rankings.

## Background

Cornolle was born in the La Source-Les Presles quarter of Épinay-sur-Seine; she still lives there. After obtaining a literary baccalaureate, she continued in a preparatory class for languages and human sciences at the Auguste-Blanqui high school in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, then obtained a master's degree in communication at CELSA Sorbonne University. During a study internship in Thailand, she learned Muay Thai at the age of 21.

## Muay Thai career

Attracted since her youth by combat sports but held back by her family, Cornolle began practicing late. With the Puteaux Scorp Thaï club, this does not prevent her from being five times French champion, including two professional titles, European champion and silver medalist at the World Games in 2022.
In 2018, Cornolle stood out with two victories in muay thai and K-1 against Mallaury Kalachnikoff, then her career took a break with the diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but she managed to cope with it through rigorous physical preparation.

## Professional mixed martial arts career

In 2022, after her return in 2021 and an entire season combining international Muay Thai competitions and professional MMA fights, Cornolle decided to focus exclusively on MMA.

### Ultimate Fighting Championship

For her first fight in the UFC, Cornolle faced Joselyne Edwards on September 2, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 226. She won the fight via unanimous decision.
Cornolle faced Melissa Mullins on April 6, 2024, at UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Curtis 2. At the weigh-ins, Cornolle and Mullins weighed in at 138.5 and 138 pounds, 2 and a half and 2 pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit respectively. Their bout proceeded at catchweight with neither being issued a fine. Cornolle won the bout via technical knockout in the second round.
Cornolle was scheduled to face Germaine de Randamie on September 28, 2024, at UFC Fight Night 243. However, de Randamie withdrew from the fight due to a broken finger and a fractured foot which led her to be replaced by Jacqueline Cavalcanti. Cornolle lost the bout by split decision.
Cornolle is scheduled to face Hailey Cowan on May 10, 2025 at UFC 315. However, the bout was moved to UFC 314 on April 12, 2025 for unknown reasons.
