    Nora Cornolle Reveals Broken Collarbone from UFC Houston Loss

    Nora Cornolle has revealed the extent of the injury she suffered during last weekend’s UFC Houston event, disclosing via Instagram that she broke her collarbone during her bantamweight bout against Joselyne Edwards.

    The French fighter shared the update with fans on social media, confirming she has already undergone surgery to address the injury and is currently on the road to recovery.

    Edwards defeated Cornolle via rear-naked choke submission in the second round at UFC Houston, with the finish coming after a slam that left Cornolle visibly hurt. It’s now clear Cornolle was dealing with a significant injury in the aftermath of that sequence.

    There is no timetable yet for Cornolle’s return to competition. A broken collarbone typically requires several months of recovery before a fighter can return to full training.

    A UFC Houston card that seemed to start slow picked up in an eye-opening way during the prelims, courtesy of Joselyne Edwards defeating Nora Cornolle.

    Cornolle controlled the action to take the first round on all three judges’ cards. But the second round, however, saw things change with Cornolle in Edwards’ grasp.

    Near the midway point of the second round, Edwards lifted Cornolle and slammed her to the mat with a big impact. Cornolle seemed to be finished, as Edwards pounded with some follow-up shots.

    Cornolle stood up but still seemed dazed, and Edwards took advantage, scoring a quick takedown and locking in a choke for the submission win.

    The aftermath would see Cornolle on the mat in pain, clutching at the shoulder she landed on in the slam. Cornolle needed assistance in leaving the Octagon.

    This was a rematch from UFC Paris in September 2023, a bout that Cornolle won via decision.

    Edwards has now won four straight. She entered this bout off finishes of Chelsea Chandler and Priscila Cachoeira last year.

    Cornolle has now lost three of her last four. She is 2-3 since the win over Edwards.
