Danny Brasco presents a conservative, but highly-confident two-leg moneyline parlay. Leg one features Nora Cornolle at -175 odds to defeat Hailey Cowan. Cornolle is a skilled French kickboxer, efficient in Muay Thai clinch striking—a stylistic edge against Cowan who Brasco believes lacks UFC-level wrestling and striking. The second leg includes UFC veteran Michal Oleksiejczuk, praised for consistency and sufficient UFC experience. Brasco highlights Cornolle's distinct striking and clinch advantage, combined with Oleksiejczuk's proven reliability, to form this straightforward yet secure parlay.

Danny Brasco strongly backs Nora Cornolle against Hailey Cowan due to her significant striking advantage inside the Muay Thai clinch. Highlighting Cornolle's ability to utilize damaging knees and elbows effectively from the plum grip, Brasco expects plenty of opportunities as Cowan attempts grapple-heavy attacks. Brasco believes Cowan, primarily a grappler who he considers not UFC-caliber, will struggle significantly to take Cornolle down, leaving Cowan vulnerable to Cornolle's clinch striking offense. He emphasizes Cornolle's overall damage upside and superior striking as decisive factors.

Billy Ward emphatically recommended betting Nora Cornolle against Hailey Cowan, surprised by the affordability of the line around -170.

Ward criticized Cowan's limited MMA skillset, acknowledging her physical strength and athleticism but seeing these traits insufficient at higher levels. Ward also highlighted Cornolle's tendency to miss weight as potentially beneficial, assuming it indicates strength or size advantage. Ward underscored repeatedly trying to unsuccessfully bet against Cowan previously, enthusiastically identifying Cornolle as one of his strongest bets this week.

Kunath suggested Nora Cornolle as an intriguing DFS pivot at UFC 314. He expects her ownership to dip following a weight miss, creating an attractive contrarian opportunity. Cornolle offers potential scoring upside, described by Kunath as very violent and capable of finishing her opponent early. At $8600, she provides solid upside in a likely under-the-radar spot, especially appealing as the first match on the card, allowing DFS players immediate feedback about their lineup’s trajectory. Kunath likes her potential to start the night with a strong DFS score at low ownership.

Matty Betss mentioned considering a high-value submission prop for Nora Cornolle at roughly +700 odds in her match against Hailey Cowan. He referenced Cowan's previous submission vulnerability, notably a guillotine defeat at LFA three fights ago, and expects some scrappy grappling exchanges that might lead to a submission finish. While Matty sees Nora as overpriced at -180 and won't strongly endorse straight moneyline wagering, he specifically noted the attractive value in betting her by submission due to historical defensive weaknesses from her opponent.

Kunath strongly favors Nora Cornolle to defeat Hailey Cowan by decision, emphasizing Cornolle's demonstrable toughness, superior clinch skills, and relentless work ethic. While acknowledging Cowan's better pure athleticism and expected wrestling attempts, Kunath is impressed by Cornolle's consistent ability to rise quickly after takedowns and punish opponents with damaging knees and elbows from the clinch. He anticipates Cornolle repeatedly landing impactful clinch strikes, causing significant damage, and generating fight-defining moments. Despite conceding Cowan's potential for controlling grappling positions briefly, Kunath is certain Cornolle's grittiness, frequent striking damage, and overall fighter quality will decisively earn her the judges' scorecards.

Bedtime MMA picked Nora Cornolle to win by decision against Hailey Cowan, highlighting the disparity in recent competition level. Cornolle comes into the fight after a split-decision loss to quality opposition and previously defeated Joselyne Edwards, whom Bedtime MMA described as the best fighter named Edwards in the UFC. Meanwhile, he criticized Cowan's inactivity and unconvincing performances as she fights infrequently and lacks notable wins as of late. This combination of tougher recent matchups and activity rate favors Cornolle in a decision victory.

Dave Ross discussed betting Nora Cornolle via decision (+ money) or using her as a parlay piece rather than straight-up moneyline (-175 to -185). He reasoned if forced to judges' scorecards as expected due to heavy juice on over 2.5 rounds (-230), being on the favorite is risky because judging in women's MMA fights can be unpredictable. Therefore, for bettors wanting exposure to Cornolle, Ross suggested either betting her to win by decision at plus money or including her in a small parlay to improve value and reduce risk.

Matty Betss discussed Nora Cornolle as a potential submission bet at significant odds (+700) against Hailey Cowan. Matty cited Cowan's guillotine loss three fights ago at LFA as a notable red flag in her recent history. While acknowledging uncertainty around the grappling dynamics in this matchup, Matty felt Cornolle might have the grappling edge overall, particularly if exchanges become messy and chaotic. Despite minimal confidence in either fighter on the money line at current odds, Matty saw decent betting value getting +700 for Nora Cornolle via submission, given Cowan's demonstrated vulnerability.

Gumby Vreeland highlighted Nora Cornolle's clear striking advantage against Hailey Cowan, emphasizing Cornolle's impressive performance against Jackie Cavalcante, an elite striker who twice handed Cornolle her only professional losses. He noted Cornolle's power and aggression, particularly referencing her body kick TKO victory. Gumby also expressed concerns about Cowan's prolonged layoff affecting her timing and ability to use her usual strength-based clinch-heavy style. Considering the stylistic matchup plus Cowan's inactivity, Gumby identified Cornolle as a strong betting value at her current odds of minus 175.

Drake Burden identifies Nora Cornolle as a DFS sleeper pick in her matchup against Hailey Cowan at UFC 314.

If Cornolle can keep the fight on the feet, Burden expects she could dominate with her superior volume and power, making her an appealing DFS option with legitimate early finish upside.

Cody Saftic backs Nora Cornolle confidently against Hailey Cowan primarily due to Cornolle's higher striking output and damage potential. Cody notes Cornolle's short, effective punches should visibly out-land and out-damage Cowan, who historically tries to slow fights down through grappling control and clinching. Cody referenced Cowan's previous UFC performance against Jamie Lyn Horth, where she was consistently out-hustled and damaged despite successfully landing occasional takedowns. Given the judging emphasis on damage over control recently, Cody strongly favors Cornolle's striking approach. However, he advises bettors to maintain modest expectations and avoid overly heavy investments due to judging uncertainty but still identifies Cornolle as the logical pick in this matchup.

Cody Saftic expressed concern about betting Hailey Cowan due to her problematic weight cutting issues and reliance on control-based grappling and clinch fighting. Cody acknowledges Cowan might land occasional takedowns and control time, but notes her past inefficiencies at effectively maintaining position or inflicting enough damage to sway judges. Citing her previous fight against Jamie Lyn Horth, Cody highlighted Cowan's missed weight, fatigue, and tendency to be outworked and out-damaged in exchanges. Considering this bout will likely reach the judges' scorecards, Cody emphasized the inherent risk in relying on Cowan's low-output, grappling-focused game plan, especially after another taxing weight cut, strongly discouraging bettors from significant exposure on Cowan.

Paul Shaughnessy supports betting Nora Cornolle against Hailey Cowan, emphasizing Cornolle's stronger striking ability, effective clinch striking, and higher fight engagement as key factors. Shaughnessy contrasts Cornolle's aggressiveness and physicality favorably to Cowan's low-output wrestling-heavy approach, labeling Cowan as a fighter who explicitly tries to avoid active exchanges. Shaughnessy illustrates his confidence by highlighting Cowan's struggles in UFC fights to maintain takedowns and control opponents effectively, citing her recent fight against Jamie-Lyn Horth where she missed weight and still lacked sustained grappling dominance. Despite concerns about Cornolle briefly being taken down by previous opponents, Paul highlights her ability to reverse positions consistently and land damaging strikes. Given Cowan's repeated issues with weight cuts, pullouts, and her minimal UFC presence, Shaughnessy firmly favors Cornolle's higher output and violent, engaged fighting style, making her a clear betting favorite at fair odds (-175).
