Nora Cornolle

Nora Cornolle, known as "Wonder," is a French mixed martial artist competing in the women's bantamweight division of the UFC.

Born and raised in Épinay-sur-Seine, outside Paris, Cornolle first built a career away from the cage, earning a master's degree in communication from CELSA Sorbonne University and working in advertising and strategic planning. Her path into combat sports began while she was abroad on a study internship, where she discovered Muay Thai at age 21. Despite initial resistance from her family, she committed herself to the sport, training out of the Puteaux Scorp Thaï club in France.

Cornolle went on to build an accomplished Muay Thai career before shifting to MMA, winning the French national title five times, including two professional crowns, taking a European championship, and earning a silver medal at the 2022 World Games. Her career was interrupted by a diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition, but she returned to elite competition after adapting her training to manage it.

After a season spent balancing international Muay Thai competition with professional MMA bouts, Cornolle committed fully to MMA in 2022. Her striking background translates directly to the cage, where she fights as an aggressive Muay Thai stylist, working sharp combinations and leg kicks behind heavy pressure to set up finishes.

Cornolle signed with the UFC and made her promotional debut at UFC Paris, defeating Joselyne Edwards by decision in front of her home crowd. She has since added a TKO finish over Melissa Mullins
