Nora Cornolle has not won too many fans with her post-fighter celebration at UFC 314.
The French hunter participated in the first fight of the night at UFC 314 in Miami, headed by Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes. Cornolle would fight against the Hailey Cowan of Texas in a bantam weight fight for ladies, a corn missed weight.
On Friday, Cornolle weighed in 138 pounds, 2 pounds above the limit of the Bantam weight. This was Cornolle's second weight miss in four UFC fights.
Cowan received a percentage of her opponent's wallet and eventually accepted the fight.

Nora Cornolle ticks Hailey Cowan with Choke
Unfortunately it would not predict so well for the Texaan, because Cornolle took control of her on the ground in two rounds.
In the opening round, Cornolle tried an arm bar with which she almost tapped Cowan. But Cowan escaped somehow to see round 2.
Cowan tried a trip in the second round with Cornolle landing on top. Cornolle grabbed Cowan's back and took care of the rear naked choke. At her second attempt, Cornolle eventually forced the crane from Cowan.
When Cornolle let go, Cowan's Nek was in the area where she was choked with Cornolle quickly to get up.
Nora Cornolle received a return for pushing the opponent to Canvas
With Cowan on top of her, Cornolle screamed before she pushed her opponent off her, so she could get up and shout something.
“Cornolle has a bit of an average streak,” said UFC commentator Jon Anik about Cornolle's celebration.
“Have you seen the way she thrown Hailey Cowan away after she suffocated her?” Anik went on.
“The question that beckons that Cornolle is moving forward is the [weight] dish…”
Cornolle received a recoil for pushing Cowan with her face that it met the canvas. The referee immediately went to Cowan to check her.
“Kinda B ***** Move after the tap for someone who had not weighed,” wrote a fan on X.
Cornolle mentioned that she had health problems in her interview after the fight so that she prevented the limit of 136 pounds.
“Why does she fight then?” The same fan wrote about the aforementioned health problems.
“Damn. Anik was right,” wrote another fan on X.
“The way Cornolle threw her away after the tap was heavy. Make weight.”
“Throwing away the opponent is bad sportiness,” wrote another fan on X.
Despite the reception of the fans, it seems that everything is good between Nora Cornolle and Hailey Cowan, which shares a moment of respect for Cornolle's interview with Joe Rogan.
Cornolle improved to 3-1 in the UFC with the entry victory in Miami.
