Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of UFC 328

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 the bout fell through. Now they are training partners, with Alvarez set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Alvarez mentioned that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the camp, and speculated that the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not disclosed any details.
