Last September 2, for their UFC debut, they set the Accor Arena on fire. Nora Cornolle was the first tricolor to win, winning by unanimous decision against Joselyne Edwards, while Morgan Charrière ideally opened the main card by defeating the Italian Manolo Zecchini in the first round.
Seven months later, they are back this Saturday evening at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The Francilienne will open the evening against the Englishwoman Melissa Dixon, and already has an opportunity to enter the top 15 in her category, bantamweight. The Briton is in fact already in this ranking, in 15th place. A victory for Nora Cornolle would therefore allow her to take her place and appear in this coveted top 15 after only two fights.
As in Paris, Morgan Charrière was scheduled on the main card. “The Last Pirate” faces the very dangerous Brazilian Chepe Mariscal, who has two victories in his UFC debut, last June and September. At 28, the Yvelinois achieved his dream by landing a contract in the premier MMA organization. He now intends to settle there and climb the ladder to the top of the category dominated by Ilia Topuria.
The start of the evening, with the Nora Cornolle fight, will be followed from 9 p.m. on RMC Sport Live 3. The main card, on which Morgan Charrière will fight, will be broadcast on RMC Sport from midnight.
