Nora Cornolle vs. Hailey Cowan
Round 1 – They meet in the middle and exchange a few punches right away. Cowan gets control in a clinch, bringing the fight to the cage. Cornolle gets the position reversed, but a trip attempt sees Cowan end up on top on the ground. Cornolle throws up an armbar! Cowan escapes and starts working from the top. Cornolle keeps Cowan pinned in close to prevent ground and pound. Cowan does manage to get in a few punches to the body and a short elbow. The crowd doesn’t like the action as we hear the first boos of the evening. Cornolle gets a little active from her back with an elbow to the head. She attempts to explode to her feet, but Cowan scrambles to take the back.
MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9 Cowan.
Round 2 – Cowan comes out with a kick and Cornolle responds with a blitz of strikes. Cowan gets another kick in as Cornolle aggressively charges forward. Cornolle gets a takedow and finds Cowan’s back. There’s a rear-naked choke! The arm is under and it’s deep! Cowan taps! Wow!
Result: Nora Cornolle def. Hailey Cowan via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 2, 1:52
