Big Brady Expert Confident picked Feb 8, 2026 (13 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Big Brady picks Joselyne Edwards to defeat Nora Cornolle, citing Edwards's recent finishing streak and improvement training with Valentina Shevchenko. He notes this is a rematch and that Edwards clearly won the first fight, taking Cornolle down eight times and nearly submitting her. He believes Edwards has leveled up since then and will dominate on the ground again, predicting a second-round submission. He criticizes Cornolle's performance against Carola Hosea, where she was nearly finished multiple times.

Joselyne Edwards by second-round submission
"I think Edwards is going to go out there, take down Nora Cornhole and I think she's going to destroy her. ... give me Joselyn Edwards to go out there and I'll say she submits Nora Cornhole in the second …"

Cody Saftic Expert Confident picked Feb 18, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

"I got Edwards as well."
CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Hesitant picked Feb 20, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Nora Cornolle

Connor picks Cornolle but notes it's a thin fight. Edwards could win a questionable decision if she banks top time, even without offense. However, if Edwards strikes like she did against Cashaware, things could change. Connor is not confident but leans Cornolle due to the first fight.

"I'll take cornell too, but it is I just want to note that it is that it was that kind of fight last time"

Lucrative James Expert Confident picked Feb 14, 2026 (7 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Feb 17, 2026 (4 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Edwards is on a three-fight winning streak with all finishes, and she has improved her grappling and confidence since training with Valentina Shevchenko. In the first fight, she gave up position but now she is more aggressive and should land more damage. Cornolle struggles with wrestling and is 36 years old. Edwards should dominate on the ground and get a submission.

Edwards submission prop
"I think we see Edward Edwards win. I think we see her pick her apart, but I think we see her more aggressive with the grappling game. And I think that'll eventually lead to Edwards getting another submission victory here."
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Feb 18, 2026 (3 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Paul agrees, calling the first fight a robbery. He thinks Edwards is bigger, faster, and stronger, and that her recent finishes show she's more aggressive. He expects Edwards to win by decision or late finish.

"Edwards is kind of better everywhere. I think she can probably mix in wrestling."
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Feb 19, 2026 (2 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

The MMA Guru picks Joselyne Edwards in the rematch, reasoning that Edwards' stand-up has improved while Cornolle's defensive grappling hasn't. He notes that Cornolle struggled with similar styles like Cavalcanti and that Edwards has been getting first round TKOs. He expects Edwards to mix in takedowns and win a 29-28 decision.

decision win, 29-28
"Decision win, 29-28, Joselyn Edwards."
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked Feb 20, 2026 (1 day before fight)
Nora Cornolle

Zane picks Cornolle, noting that Edwards was cowed by Cornolle's striking pedigree in the first fight and tried to grapple but couldn't out-grapple Cornolle. Edwards is not efficient on top and produces no meaningful offense. Zane believes the same dynamics will hold.

"I gotta pick Norah Connell like maybe edwards can get the takedowns and beat her. I don't care. It's not an interesting dynamic to re-experience"

Nora Cornolle vs. Karol Rosa
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Rosa (-180); Cornolle (+150)

Round 1
The final women’s match of the evening comes at 135 pounds, in a wide-open division where a contender likely need only amass three or four wins to get a crack at gold. Rosa (18-7, 7-4 UFC) has alternated wins and losses in her last eight outings while hearing the final bell for the entirety of her UFC run. On the other side of the equation, French muay thai practitioner Cornolle (9-2, 3-1 UFC) has only claimed one career win on the scorecards. They will tangle under the watchful eye of referee Kerry Hatley. Gloves are touched before they are traded.
Cornolle gets right to business, walking Rosa down with a body kick and a few punches. Rosa’s back hit the wall, and she fires right back to force the Frenchwoman back. Cornolle resets and lands a low kick, hopping away from a counter to connect with one more. A brief clinch leads to nothing, so Rosa reaches out with a right hand. Cornolle does the same, following with a left and then backing off. Cornolle sits down on a hard low kick, getting countered with two punches upstairs. Cornolle tries for a standing hammerfist, and Rosa tags her with counters as she circles away. Cornolle splits the guard with a right hand, and the two tie up as Rosa pushes her to the wall. Rosa changes levels but is stood up, and Cornolle frames off with an elbow. Cornolle plants her shin on Rosa’ lead leg, and she sways back to evade a looping right hand.
Cornolle has another leg kick countered with three punches up top, and Rosa follows with a one-two but the French striker has her guard up in time. Cornolle initiates a clinch, and Rosa turns her about and jams her up against the fence. Rosa ties up Cornolle’s leg for a trip attempt, but she does not get it. They knee one another on the inside and Cornolle tries to loop big punches when she gains a modicum of space. Rosa keeps her high and tight, kneeing her a few more times even as Cornolle has her elbow smushed in to the Brazilian’s face. Cornolle forces the break with her elbows, and she gets to walking Cornolle down and elbows her in the cheek. The clinch is engaged in the middle of the cage, where Cornolle delivers some knees to the body and is pressed to the fence. Cornolle escapes thanks to her elbows once more, and swelling is growing fast on Rosa’s left cheek. Cornolle knees her foe in the face twice as the horn sounds.

Round 2
Cornolle stalks her foe down to get going, putting hands right in Rosa’s face. Rosa responds immediately with a takedown shot, putting the Frenchwoman on her back in seconds. Cornolle hits her back and defends with a kimura, keeping a two-on-one wrist lock on Rosa’s left arm. Rosa uses her free right hand to smack Cornolle in the side to little effect, and she switches to elbow that land with small but growingly impactful thuds.
Cornolle tries to sit up, but Rosa gloms onto her and pushes her flat to her back. Rosa steps into full mount, and she fastens an arm-triangle mount that starts to smother the woman named “Wonder.” Rosa releases the grip to land some body shots, and she adjusts her arms again. When she does not secure it, she switches back to light punches to the side. Rosa stays heavy rather than sitting up to unload with power, and when she does, Cornolle sits up. Rosa flirts with a rear-naked choke that Cornolle defends without issue, but Rosa is still dominating her threatening with something or other. Rosa grasps hold of a brute force rear-naked choke that is on the nose, and she lets it go so she does not gas her arms out. Rosa bludgeons with ground strikes until time expires.

Round 3
The two women come out swinging, with Cornolle trying to pay Rosa back from the last round. Rosa goes back to her grappling quickly, tackling the Frenchwoman to the floor with relative ease and crawling on top of her into half guard. Rosa presses her shoulder down heavily on the side of Cornolle’s neck, grinding out her opponent rather than sitting up to inflict damage. Rosa scores a few pitter-patter body shots as she exerts top pressure, and Cornolle slashes and hacks at her off her back with stern elbows. The Brazilian hops to the other side, still in half guard, and Cornolle looks to her corner for answers.
Rosa loops her right arm beneath Cornolle’s neck and pushes her shoulder down on the windpipe for a one-armed arm-triangle choke, keeping Cornolle stuck on her back with no escape. Rosa stifles Cornolle from getting out, following her every twist and turn with the proper counter to remain on top. Cornolle tries to kick off with upkicks, and even lands an illegal one as Hatley lightly admonishes her for this. Rosa sits on top of her foe, bopping her with hammerfists until Cornolle turns to her side. Rosa tries for some kind of choke as she wraps her arms around the Frenchwoman, and she lets Cornolle turn over so she can work her over with punches. Rosa continues swinging, landing some to the back of the head as she turns it up in the last seconds. When time expires, the only question will be whether Rosa earned 10-8 scores in Rounds 2, 3 or both. The Brazilian keeps her decision streak intact, having gone the distance in all 12 of her UFC outings.

Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Jul 31, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Karol Rosa

Connor picks Rosa, noting that Cornolle's only effective tool is clinch striking, and Rosa should be able to avoid that by using her range and volume. He acknowledges Rosa's inconsistency but believes even on a bad night she can outwork Cornolle, who has a very narrow path to victory.

"I think Hossa can pull it out as well, even on a bad night too."
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked Jul 31, 2025 (2 days before fight)
Karol Rosa

Zane also picks Rosa, emphasizing that Cornolle's game is one-dimensional and Rosa has the tools to keep the fight at range. He notes that only Jacqueline Cavalcanti has beaten Cornolle by fighting technically at distance, and Rosa can replicate that. Zane warns that Rosa could fall into Cornolle's clinch, but believes she is unlikely to get out-wrestled or out-paced.

"I think so too. I do. She's unlikely to get out wrestled. She's unlikely to get out paced."

Jacqueline Cavalcanti vs. Nora Cornolle

Round 1
It’s no time like the present to move to the next fight, which comes at the 135-pound weight class in a wide-open division. A pair of ladies with two wins in the promotion will aim for win no. 3, with Cavalcanti (7-1, 2-0 UFC) returning from a quick turnaround against home country Cornolle (8-1, 2-0 UFC). While the woman from Portugal is currently riding a five-fight win streak, the local Cornolle has not tasted defeat since her pro debut—which came against Cavalcanti—and is flying high. Referee Christophe Chapuis takes charge of the cage, and he starts the rematch as the two women touch gloves. Cornolle stays on the outside while Cavalcanti is in the middle, and she pecks at her foe with a few low kicks. Cavalcanti responds in kind, and they dart in at one another with single jabs. Cavalcanti looks for a right hand over the top when a leg kick is aimed at her, and she continues to work the Frenchwoman’s lead leg over with her shin. Another leg kick from Cornolle is answered with an overhand right, but it is a bit too slow to get to her. Cornolle ducks and reaches her way in, only to find herself out of range. Cavalcanti jams a hard low kick on the front wheel, and she checks a kick that comes back her way. Cornolle reaches her foe with a winging right hand, using this strike to close the distance and wrap her arms around Cavalcanti’s waist. Cavalcanti leans her head against the cage as Cornolle hangs on from behind her, with the woman from France pursuing a level change. When Cavalcanti stands her up, Cornolle dings her with a pair of sneaky elbows and two knees. The third knee from Cornolle allows her to lift her opponent and chuck her to the floor, where she is stuck in an odd position until she steps all the way over to full mount. Cavalcanti rolls her over and finds herself in armbar danger, so she stands back up and stars slapping Cornolle’s legs with kicks. Cornolle responds with axe kicks, so Cavalcanti does the same. When “Wonder” works her way back up, Cavalcanti walks her down and beans her with a pair of punches. Cornolle tosses out a naked leg kick, and two more fists fly at her mug. Cavalcanti chains several punches together as a head kick brushes past her shoulder, and Cornolle tries a second high kick from up close. Cavalcanti pays it no mind, walking through a high knee to put her hands on her opponent until the bell sounds.

Round 2
Cavalcanti deploys her same game plan to start the second round, claiming the center of the cage while slowly advancing. Cavalcanti picks at her adversary with kicks, avoiding a wheel kick and landing a right hand over the top. Cornolle connects with a left hand, and she has a head kick come up short of the mark. Cavalcanti keeps crowding her, and they trade low kicks. A high kick from Cornolle gets closer than before, whipping it up in close proximity. She appears to celebrate her work a little too long, as Cavalcanti rings her bell with a right hand down the middle. The power punches from the woman born in Brazil but now a Portuguese local do serious damage, and Cornolle wobbles and bounces off the fence. Cavalcanti stays composed as she traps Cornolle against the wire, ringing her bell with another big right, and Cornolle bends over and has to shake it off. To save her composure, the Frenchwoman changes levels and succeeds in tripping Cavalcanti’s legs out. Cavalcanti climbs back up, and she grabs the fence to keep herself from getting mat returned as Chapuis slaps her hand. Cornolle stays tightly pressed to her opponent, chipping away with knees and dirty boxing until Cavalcanti spins her about. Cornolle uses a knee to get a bit of space, and she fires off a head kick from up close to break away. Cavalcanti shrugs it off and keeps the pressure fully on “Wonder,” and she stuffs a takedown but cannot stop Cornolle from grabbing her. Cornolle opens up with a number of knees from up close as she clinches, continuing this until the round ends.

Round 3
The bantamweights are lathered up for five more minutes of combat, and Cavalcanti leads off the round where she prefers, in the center slowly spreading her way towards the cage to back her opponent up. Cavalcanti uses her jabs to keep a safe range, but Cornolle steps in to break that up momentarily with a hard right elbow. Cavalcanti no-sells it and hammers Cornolle’s front leg with a kick, and she leans back to dodge a head kick. Cavalcanti checks a kick as Cornolle staggers back, and she avoids a high kick and a spinning back fist while sneaking in an overhand right. Cornolle shoots in but cannot get to the hips, settling for a clinch and a knee to the breadbasket. Cavalcanti frames off with an elbow to split up, and she shakes her arms out. Cavalcanti tries to pin a one-two on the chin, and a follow-up right reaches its intended target. Cornolle responds with a head kick that slaps off the guard, and she gets marked up with a right hand that shakes up her balance. Cavalcanti’s right finds its home once more, not letting the head kick counter get to her, and she pushes off another clinch setup. Cavalcanti stalks the Frenchwoman down, ignoring a high kick to stretch out with three punches. The crowd attempts to inspire their fighter with two minutes left, and she channels their energy to explode into a slugfest. Cavalcanti stands her ground and knocks her back, and Cornolle shrugs at her as if to say that Cavalcanti’s blows do not hurt her. When Cavalcanti connects hard, Cornolle turns around and shouts something at her own team, which allows Cavalcanti to hit her again. Cornolle gathers herself, and Cavalcanti reaches a right hand that misses the mark when “Wonder” attacks the hips. Cornolle hangs on and mashes her elbow on Cavalcanti’s face, and Cavalcanti bursts out of the tie-up and boots Cornolle in the belly. Cornolle again waves her own, and Cavalcanti obliges, lobbing punches, elbows and kicks at her until the final bell rings.

Angelo Bodetti Expert Lean picked Sep 22, 2024 (6 days before fight)
Nora Cornolle

Angelo picks Nora Cornolle despite acknowledging Jacob's strong disagreement. He argues that Nora's forward pressure and busy striking will be effective against Jacqueline, who tends to back up. He believes Jacqueline's split decision win over Josiane Nunes was questionable and that Nora's aggression will earn her rounds. However, he is not confident enough to bet on Nora straight up, but considers betting the +3.5 spread if available.

"I do think Nora wins this fight... am I confident enough to bet on Nora? No... what I might do is bet her plus three and a half..."

Nora Cornolle

Cody picks Cornolle as an underdog, citing the hometown advantage and the fact that both are strikers. He notes that Cavalcanti's recent win over Josiane Nunes was a close split decision, and Cornolle has shown high volume when not taken down.

CO
Connor Ruebusch Expert Confident picked Sep 27, 2024 (1 day before fight)
Jacqueline Cavalcanti

Connor agrees, noting that Cavalcanti is technical enough and has a bright future. He was impressed by her performance against Nunes and thinks she will be able to out-strike Cornolle, who relies on clinch work. Connor expects Cavalcanti to win decisively.

"I was going to pick her anyway. I would like to see that from her, but I also think that if she just has a much more neutral fight, she's just a far more consistent striker."

Daniel Vreeland Expert Lean picked Sep 24, 2024 (4 days before fight)
Jacqueline Cavalcanti

Daniel Vreeland picks Jacqueline Cavalcanti to win, but is not confident at the price. He thinks Cavalcanti is the more polished striker and should win at distance, but notes Cornolle has power and can steal moments. He mentions Cornolle's improvements and the home crowd, but believes Cavalcanti's volume and technique will earn a decision.

"I'm going to pick jacine to win this but just also to consider I forgot she's taking this on short notice"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Sep 25, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Jacqueline Cavalcanti

JP picks Jacqueline Cavalcanti because she has a reach advantage and has fought Nora Cornolle before, winning by decision. He notes Cornolle is a wild striker with power but Cavalcanti's volume should win her the fight. He also mentions Cavalcanti is younger at 27 vs Cornolle's 34, and he is fading older fighters.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Confident picked Sep 24, 2024 (4 days before fight)
Nora Cornolle

Paul switches to Cornolle after discussion, citing the CF model and the fact that Cavalcanti is on short notice and fought a month ago. He notes that Cornolle has good volume and that the fight being in France could lead to a favorable decision. He expects a close striking match that Cornolle might win.

"CF up cornal is the pick"
TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Sep 24, 2024 (4 days before fight)
Nora Cornolle

The MMA Guru picks Nora Cornolle over Jacqueline Cavalcanti, citing Cavalcanti's short-notice turnaround as a red flag. He notes that Cavalcanti fought a month ago and usually fights twice a year, while Cornolle was preparing for a bigger fight. He believes Cornolle is more prepared and will win despite similar skill levels.

"I'm going to go with Nora Canal I don't trust the reasons as to why caval KY wants to make this quick turnaround"
ZA
Zane Simon Expert Confident picked Sep 27, 2024 (1 day before fight)
Jacqueline Cavalcanti

Zane thinks Cavalcanti will win the rematch because she is a more consistent striker and has improved since their first fight, where she dominated Cornolle. He notes that Cavalcanti is fundamental and handled pressure well against Josiane Nunes. Cornolle's only path is clinch work, but Cavalcanti should be able to out-strike her.

"I think it's pretty clear that Kalakansh is going to win this rematch."

Nora Cornolle (138.5: Missed Weight) vs. Melissa Mullins (138: Missed Weight)
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Dixon (-360), Cornolle (+285)

Round 1
Consider tonight’s event a dress rehearsal of next week’s gala event of UFC 300. The UFC will trot out 12 pairs of combatants inside of the UFC Apex to keep the seemingly indefinite streak of consecutive weekends going. It all begins with an international catchweight contest, as both fighters failed to make weight and the formerly bantamweight bout still stayed together. France’s Cornolle (7-1, 1-0 UFC) eclipsed the weight limit by 2.5 pounds while unbeaten Brit Mullins (6-0, 2-0 UFC) surpassed the 136-pound cap by two pounds herself. Fines likely went straight to the commission and promotion instead of to one another, but referee Chris Tognoni almost certainly did not get a bump in pay because of it. The two women, glad to still be fighting tonight, tap their gloves together. Cornolle starts right out of the gate throwing hands, and she gets Mullins’ attention very quickly. Mullins throws back with an overhand right that scores, but Cornolle is not concerned as she continues to swing. Cornolle double jabs her way in and follows it with two heavy right hands, forcing the Brit to press her up against the wall to slow things down. Cornolle muscles her way around and away from the fencing, and she sneaks in a short strike before Mullins drags her over to the other side of the Octagon. Mullins grinds and brings up a few knees to the thigh to stay busy in her position, and she uses a body lock to wrench Cornolle down to the mat. Mullins moves from half guard on one side to the other, with Cornolle preventing her from claiming full mount. Mullins stays heavy on top and tries to pin Cornolle’s elbow down, but Cornolle explodes and turns “No Mess” over. Mullins stands up, giving up her back, and Cornolle cannot keep her grounded or do anything with the position so she lets it go. Back in striking range, Cornolle lands a solid body kick after a few punches, forcing Mullins to rush at her and clinch again. Mullins has another takedown effort thwarted, and she works short elbows and knees on the inside. Mullins gives one back but takes several from the other end along with an elbow to end the round.

Sherdog Scores
Jay Pettry scores the round: 10-9 Cornolle
Brian Knapp scores the round: 10-9 Mullins
Devin Tejada scores the round: 10-9 Cornolle

Round 2
There is a clap of hands to open the second round, and Mullins comes out of her corner as if she had a fire lit in her belly. Mullins strikes her way into a clinch situation, stifling the Frenchwoman’s offense early. Cornolle turns her about and elbows her, and Mullins spins her back around to push her back to the wire. Mullins keeps her jammed up as time ticks off the clock with little to show for it, with Mullins opting for control over any sort of effective offense. As the lack of action continues, the commentary booth harangues both women about failing to make weight. Cornolle eventually fights her way out and smacks her opponent with elbows and knees. Mullins measures her way in with a straight left hand, and Cornolle rebounds off with a body kick and two punches up top.
Cornolle drives a knee to the liver, and Mullins bends over, compromised from the body blow. Cornolle watches Mullins fold, and she boots her upside the head with her foot. Mullins wobbles back to the wall, trying to keep herself in the game, but Cornolle kicks her in the head again to force Mullins to turn around and physically surrender. As soon as Mullins drops to her knees, totally defeated, Tognoni steps in to save her from any further punishment.
Just like that, Mullins 0 has disintegrated, and Cornolle may be a ranked competitor at bantamweight next week despite missing weight.

AN
Angelo Bodetti Expert Confident picked Mar 31, 2024 (6 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Angelo picks Melissa Mullins because she is the more well-rounded fighter with takedowns if needed, and she showed she can get dropped but get back up and stay tough. He notes that Nora Cornolle is dangerous early but has terrible takedown defense and poor cardio. He cannot pick Nora hoping for an early knockout when she can't keep the fight standing. He advises not to spend money on this fight.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Apr 4, 2024 (2 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Big Brady picks Melissa Mullins to win by TKO in the second round. He notes that Mullins has a strong ground game and vicious ground and pound, while Cornolle has a hole in her takedown defense and ground game, as shown in her last fight against Joselyn Edwards where she was taken down repeatedly. Brady believes Mullins will get the fight to the mat and finish.

Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked Apr 3, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Cody also picks Mullins but is not enthusiastic. He notes Mullins's slow starts but her ability to build momentum and her strong top control. He thinks Cornolle is a low-volume fighter who was outwrestled by Joselyne Edwards. Cody believes Mullins's forward pressure and grappling will be too much, but the price is prohibitive.

"I think the rightful favorite does win and puts an end to that"
DA
Daniel Vreeland Expert Confident picked Apr 4, 2024 (2 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Daniel Vreeland confidently picks Melissa Mullins, citing her dominant grappling and resilience. He notes Mullins has overcome bad spots on the feet, as seen in the fight against 'Russian Ronda', and can finish fights once she gets takedowns. Vreeland warns that if Mullins tries to stand and bang with Cornolle, it could be trouble, but expects her to stick to her game plan of taking the fight to the mat.

"I'm going to go Melissa Dixon to win this fight."
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Apr 3, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Mullins is a better fighter overall with dominant grappling and top control. Cornolle has holes in her game, especially takedown defense, as seen against Edwards. Mullins will control positions and likely find a TKO or submission in the second or third round.

Mullins inside the distance
"I think that we'll see Mullins assert that dominant top position and eventually find a TKO or a submission gim me Mullins and Mullins inside the distance"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert Hesitant picked Apr 3, 2024 (3 days before fight)
Melissa Mullins

Paul picks Mullins but hates the price. He notes Mullins is a slow starter but has great durability and top pressure, and that she takes over in rounds 2 and 3. He thinks Cornolle is a low-volume fighter who was arguably gifted a decision in her UFC debut. Paul suggests live betting Mullins after round 1 or taking her by decision.

by decision, live bet after round 1
"I think she wins the price you don't love... Melissa Mullins by decision perhaps"

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Apr 2, 2024 (4 days before fight)

The host dismisses both fighters as low-level, calling it an embarrassment to watch. He uses a mayonnaise bottle flip to decide, landing on Melissa Mullins. He notes she is younger and has more reach, but his reasoning is flippant and not serious.

"going with Melissa Dixon I re Melissa Dixon's going to win um she's younger she's got more reach"

Nora Cornolle

Angelo picks Nora Cornolle as an underdog, liking her aggression and ability to come forward. He notes Joselyne Edwards has no takedown defense and doesn't know what to do on the ground. The only concern is Nora's cardio, as she's only seen the third round once. He thinks Nora can get the win if she works in takedowns.

Nora Cornolle

However, he acknowledges Edwards has faced better competition and that Cornolle's level of opposition is low. He expects a close, greasy decision.

CO
Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked Aug 30, 2023 (3 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

Cody picks Edwards based on experience (6 UFC fights) and volume. He notes Cornolle has a Muay Thai background but has fought low-level competition. Edwards lands high volume (164 strikes vs Pasquale, 101 vs Kim) and is strong in the clinch. However, the fight is close and could be subjective; Cody expects a decision and likes the over 2.5 rounds. He is not confident due to potential French judge bias.

Joselyne Edwards

Daniel Levi picks Joselyne Edwards, citing her experience, volume striking, and size advantage. He notes that Edwards has outstruck every UFC opponent except one and that Cornolle is a 33-year-old debutant who turned pro in 2021. Levi believes Cornolle's level of competition has been very low and that Edwards should be able to outpoint her. He is not confident enough to bet but leans Edwards.

"my official pick is Jocelyn Edwards to win this fight"
MM
MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lean picked Aug 31, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

I'm leaning with Edwards. She has good lateral movement and kicks to keep Cornolle at range. Cornolle is aggressive but has shown vulnerability when hit and may have cardio issues. Edwards has improved takedown defense and should be able to keep the fight standing. I expect Edwards to win by decision.

"I'm going to lean with a UFC a veteran here in Jocelyn Edwards as much as I scored the poodle logo fight again so last time around and still kind of bitter that I didn't get to cash that ticket …"

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Hesitant picked Aug 30, 2023 (3 days before fight)

TH
The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Aug 29, 2023 (4 days before fight)
Joselyne Edwards

The MMA Guru picks Joselyne Edwards, despite her being the favorite, because he believes Nora Cornolle's regional tape shows poor technique and reliance on physicality. He notes Edwards has a massive frame advantage and has improved recently, while Cornolle looked untechnical. He predicts Edwards wins by decision.

Connor leans toward Cowan, noting that Pereira has bad footwork and no grappling, and Cowan's wrestling could be effective. He mentions that if Pereira weren't so liable to be dragged out of the fight she needs, he might pick her, but Cowan's grinding style should work.

Cowan opened +120, now +110; Pereira opened -111, now -130.
