Alvarez and Saint Denis train together ahead of UFC 328

Joël Alvarez and Benoît Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are working together as training partners. Alvarez is preparing for his fight against Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a bout announced. Alvarez stated that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training sessions, and he believes the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own.
