Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of UFC 328

Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two were originally scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are working together to prepare for their respective upcoming fights. Álvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Álvarez revealed that Saint-Denis reached out to him to train together, and he believes the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not disclosed who that opponent might be.
