Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Alvarez stated that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training camp, and he believes the Frenchman will soon fight an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not revealed who.
